BARNEBEY’S STUDY OF UNIVERSITY ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME SCHOOLED APPLICANTS, AND A FOLLOW-UP

/

hat are the admissions requirements, and how do they compare, of 210 selected four year public and private universities in the United States with respect to applicants who have been home schooled?  Leslie F. Barnebey pursued this question in her Ed.D. dissertation ("American University Admission
Requirements for Home Schooled Applicants, in 1984•) which was completed at Brigham Young University in 1986.  She also determined whether any of four characteristics (Carnegie type, size, support, or location) of the institutions affected the admission of home schooled applicants and explored the attitude of admission officers toward these applicants.

Review of HOME SCHOOLING: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE BY MARY ANNE PITMAN

/

Mary Anne Pitman (1986) has written the most sweeping review of the literature on home education to date.  Since most home school researchers will already be familiar with many of the works cited in the article, I will briefly summarize the content of the review to indicate the comprehensiveness and scope of
Pitman's review, and then the implications of this article for future home school research will be suggested.
