The purpose of the present study was to examine the predictive validity of the Admissions Test for Graduate Study in Business (ATGSB) and alternative predictors for English-speaking and non-English speaking students in a Master's Degree Business Administration Program. Seven criterion variables (e.g., cumulative graduate GPA, number of incompletes received, number of months to graduation) were chosen to represent a variety of indices of academic success. Results indicated that seven of the 77 bivariate correlations were significantly different from zero for the English-speaking students in contrast to 24 statistically significant correlations for the non-English-speaking students.
