Human Capital Indicators and Academic Success

This paper investigates various human capital indicators as predictors of academic success for students in Executive MBA programs. Previous literature has focused on student perform-ance in traditional full-time MBA programs and typically only for a single school. Data was examined from two different uni-versities, with over 130 Executive MBA students. Undergraduate GPA had a statistically significant, positive relation to aca-demic success in the Executive MBA program, while other factors, including GMAT scores and age, were not found to be as important in predicting academic success in the Executive MBA programs
