The College of Education of the Cleveland State University opened its first graduate program in 1968. The purpose of the study reported here is to provide information for reflection about the college's past performance and for planning new directions in its graduate programs. The study uses information from college and university records, organized so that it shows what has happened in the college's graduate programs and to the students who enrolled in them. The findings are organized around four topics: (a) patterns of admissions; (b) student characteristics; (c) student performance and progress; and (d) predicting student performance. It was found that the College of Education, over the eight years reviewed here, admitted a very large, diverse group of students to graduate study. It graduated, or is likely to graduate, only a small portion of those students. The reasons for most of the student attrition remain unknown; this study has only shown the magnitude of attrition and that the reasons for it are not academic. (MM)
