A major concern in higher education is whether the admission criteria used by universities are suitable for identifying competent candidates. This issue is especially pressing for Taiwanese higher education now. For about half a century, Taiwanese high school students who want to enter any art-related programs in higher education are required to take two national admission tests – The Joint College Entrance Examination (JCEE) and The JCEE Art-Skill Test; the former measuring students’ academic achievement, and the latter measuring their art making abilities. Combined scores on these examinations serve as students’ enrollment determinant. It is nonetheless unknown if high school students’ scores on these examinations are valid and accurate predictors of their college academic performance. By using inferential statistical analysis as the research design, this study investigated the relationships between the subjects’ college GPAs and their JCEE scores, gender, and high school background.
