Multiple enrollment programs has been conducted in higher education for a period of time, design department also recruits students from different admissive ways. However, there are few papers focus on design students' academic achievement comparisons, thus we don't know the influence of multiple enrollment program on academic achievement, especially on the student who admitted by application and recommendation. The main goal of this study was to realize whether this enrollment program could recruit students with adaptation for design department. Realizing this question can provide a reference for recruitment weight adjustment for multiple enrollment programs. The academic achievement data of 232 students were collected from the Industrial Design Department of National Cheng Kung University during 2002 to 2007. Independent variables were enrollment programs (There are three programs: admission by application, school recommendation and examination) and years (from freshman to senior years), dependent variables were academic achievements of major and common required course. The result shows that the academic achievements of students recruited from school recommendations and from applications were better than those who were recruited from examinations in major required course. In addition, the academic achievements of students recruited from recommendation were better than those who were recruited from application in common required course. More practical implications of these results will be discussed in this paper.
