Area of Science:

  • Radiologic Science Education
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • Student attrition is a significant concern in community college allied health programs.
  • Radiologic science programs face challenges in retaining students through to graduation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if admission criteria correlate with attrition rates in radiography programs.
  • To identify predictors of student success and failure in two-year community college radiologic science programs.

Main Methods:

  • A 10-year retrospective study of 179 radiography students at a Midwestern community college.
  • Analysis of admission criteria and student characteristics in relation to program completion.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant relationship was found between admission criteria and student attrition.
  • Current admission criteria do not appear to be reliable predictors of student success or failure.

Conclusions:

  • Admission criteria alone are insufficient to predict student outcomes in radiography programs.
  • Further investigation into cognitive and non-cognitive factors is necessary to address student attrition effectively.
