Relationship of learning style and academic discipline to corresponding course attrition

Economic conditions and the rising cost of higher education have made it difficult for many individuals to attend regularly scheduled on-campus college courses. Correspondence study, a method of course delivery found within distance education, provides an alternative for those unable to attend college in the traditional form. However, attrition rates for correspondence study programs range from 32% to 71% (Brindley, 1987; Wong & Wong, 1979; Woodley & Parlett, 1983). One method of addressing correspondence course attrition is to examine the relationship of learning style and academic discipline to course completion.
