Graduate School Success of Black Students from White Colleges and Black Colleges

Graduate School Success of Black Students from White Colleges and Black Colleges

UIUC, Black Students

This study compares the academic performance of black
American graduate students who graduated from traditionally black
colleges (Group A) with the academic performance of black American
graduate students who graduated from historically white colleges
(Group B). The study also presents data on the relationship between
undergraduate grade point average and graduate school grade point
average. No significant difference was found between Group A and
Group B on mean graduate grade point average, retention rate, or
graduation rate. There was a positive correlation between undergraduate
and graduate grade point averages for Group A and Group B
within each of four fields of study and for the total group.
