Van Helden, F. M. – Australian University, 1975
A study comparing performance of college students in three age groups developed a strong case for admitting students 26 years or older. The 22-25 group also showed better results than the under-22 group but had the lowest degree-completion rate. Little correlation was found between adult student performance and high school examination results. (JT)
