| Abstract | A decline in the completion rates of a radiography program not attributed to students' life events indicated the need to examine the program admission process. The use of standardized test scores in conjunction with other program admission requirements has not resulted in 100% program completion. The radiography program's leaders, sponsored by Best Choice Community College, recognized the need to examine admissions processes to identify the gaps in completion rates and demographics. With a focus on the use of the TEAS standardized test, the purposes of this study were to examine (a) the demographics, TEAS test scores, completion rates, and pass rates of students; (b) the relationship between student demographics and TEAS test scores; (c) the relationship between TEAS test scores and the success of students as measured by completion when controlling for demographics; (d) the relationship between TEAS test scores and the success of students as measured by the registry pass rate documentation when controlling for demographics; and (e) the difference in race, gender, and socioeconomic of the group of students whose TEAS scores were used and the group of students whose TEAS scores were not used. This study included data from the radiography program cohorts of 2013-2019. Logistical and multiple regression analyses commenced for 232 students to determine the impact of the TEAS on demographic characteristics and student success. Based on a comparative examination of all variables, the study found no significant associations with either demographic characteristic. The study also indicated that TEAS score was the only significant predictor of program completion for the pre-2019 cohorts. However, this finding lacked significance for the 2019 cohort, which suggests that TEAS scores had no impact on the cohort's program completion. Such findings suggest that weighted GPAs are better predictors of success than TEAS scores. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
