It has recently become difficult for college students majoring in cosmetology to gain employment after graduation. Under this circumstance, this study attempted to investigate students' academic achievements and employment preparation behavior based on their demographic characteristics. To accomplish this, a questionnaire survey was conducted involving 234 college men and women in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do from April 12 to 30, 2022. Out of an initial 260 questionnaires distributed, 250 were collected. Of these, 234 copies, excluding 16 poorly answered ones, were used for final analysis. The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, a t-test, and an F-test, employing SPSS 21.0, which revealed the following: First, concerning academic achievements based on demographic characteristics, a statistically significant difference was found in "motives to select the cosmetology department," "most important aspects for career decision," and "academic major-related license." Second, concerning employment preparation behavior, a statistically significant difference was observed in "academic year," "motives to select the cosmetology department," and "academic major-related license." The above findings confirmed a statistically significant difference in academic achievements and employment preparation behavior, ensuring a better understanding of academic achievements and employment preparation behavior. It is anticipated that those majoring in cosmetology would be more active in job preparation and ultimately obtain the profession they desire with a positive and healthy mindset.

In this study we compare academic achievements of college students admitted by admissions officer selection with those admitted by general selection. Two measurements of the academic achievements considered are GPA (grade point average) and relative ascending rank of GPA. By the comparison of the academic achievements, we would like to assess the effectiveness of the admissions office selection and then provide a basis for screening good students by that selection. The results of data analysis indicate that the academic achievements of admissions officer selection students tend to be lower than those of early general admission students and also those of regular general admission students tend to be higher than those of early general admission students.

The implications of this study will contribute to improve development of university admission through the analysis of university admission achievements and correlation between university admission factors and university academic achievements. Participants of this study were university students selected by admission officer system in 2011 and have enrolled in the university for 6 semesters at A university. The results of this study are as follows: First, when it comes to the grades of university admission factors, graduates from specialized vocational high school outperformed those from general high school. Second, when it comes to the correlation between university academic achievements and university admission factors, graduates from specialized vocational high school slightly outperformed those from general high school. Third, when it comes to the correlation between university academic achievements and university academic achievements, graduates from specialized vocational high school showed poorer performance than those from general high school in overall courses and liberal arts courses. However, in major courses, graduates from specialized vocational high school outperformed those from general high school. Finally, when it comes to the development of university academic achievements, both of them showed a tendency of being improved as they advanced through school. Based on the findings of this study, several implications can be made as follows: First, it is necessary to improve the application ratio and application method of university admission factors. Second, it is required to provide preparatory courses of university to help graduates from specialized high school get adapted to university course of study.
