Abstract
How do education majors compare with noneducation students? Olsen com pares 107 recent education graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside with 1420 noneducation graduates on eleven variables. Subjects in the study completed degrees during the Fall and Spring semesters of 1981, 1982, and 1983. Education graduates were found to be equal to, and in some cases better than, noneducation graduates on all variables. Olsen discusses the impor tance of the findings, and he describes reasons for the results.Keywords
