Abstract Factors linked to success by minority students in accounting coursework should be of interest to those individuals responsible for admission, scholarships and other decisions concerning minority students. insight into the relative importance (or lack of importance) attributable to such measures as admission-test results, grades in algebra and calculus, cumulative college grade-point average, gender, major area of study, class standing and performance on a math pretest is provided. Among the factors studied, college GPA is the most important followed by SAT score and performance in calculus. Gender was not significant in explaining minority student performance in principles of accounting. The latter finding is consistent with recent studies of majority student populations (Buckless et al. 1991; Tyson 1989).
Gist et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
