Nowadays, as an attempt to improve education policies, a variety of admission systems have been devised and
applied to university admission system. To scrutinize the relationship between admission systems and GPA/defection rate within environmental engineering major context, this study conducted statistical tests with 296 students data. For this purpose, the types of admission system were categorized into four types in this study (regular admission, nonscheduled general admission, admission officer system, and special admission). The results of analysis of variance showed that there are no significant difference in GPA among the four admission types. With regard to GAP trend, the recent student group in nonscheduled general admission type and admission officer system type showed positive GPA trend. On the contrary, the recent student group in the case of regular admission type and special admission type showed negative GPA trend. The results of cross-tabulation analysis showed no significant relationship between admission types and defection rate. But, it seems notable that the type of special admission showed the higher defection rate compared to other admission types. Although it seems that substantial change in the admission system is not necessary in environmental engineering major, it is worth considering the increase of nonscheduled general admission type and admission officer system type and the decrease of special admission type.
