An objective evaluation of counseling

Abstract

4 groups of college student veterans were selected to study the effects of counseling on grade point average. 2 groups had received counseling regarding their major subject and 2 groups had not. Those who changed their majors after counseling improved their grade point average significantly (1% level), and improvement in their major subject grades was particularly marked. Of the 2 groups that did not change their majors, the counseled group improved its grade point average significantly more (1% level) than the non-counseled group. 14 references.
