| 520 | |a This paper describes the process of recruiting high quality liberal arts graduates into teacher preparation programs at Memphis State University, Tennessee. The two graduate programs, the Master of Arts in Teaching and the Lyndhurst, both require full-time attendance, have lock-step delivery systems and extended internships, and are intensive. In describing recruitment strategies, it is pointed out that the target group formed a disparate population not easily reached by a single approach. The primary approach used to reach these individuals was advertising through newspapers and public service announcements on radio and television. Word of mouth was encouraged and appeared to be effective. Personal contact was the second stage of the recruiting process. The selection process involved transcript evaluation, program orientation, screening procedures, and commitments. A profile is presented describing the credentials of the graduate students finally selected for the two programs. Suggestions are made for using incentives in recruiting students and for increasing the applicant pool of talented potential teachers. (JD) | ||
