Comparative Analysis of Educational Satisfaction and Satisfaction with Graduate School between Graduate Students Majoring in Cosmetology and Other Graduate Students

Abstract

This study attempted to comparatively analyze educational satisfaction and satisfaction with graduate schools between graduate students majoring in cosmetology and other graduate students, and the results found the followings: In terms of the perception of educational courses, academic operation and thesis guidance, graduate students majoring in cosmetology were relatively higher than other graduate students. In addition, perception of administrative services and satisfaction with graduate schools by an environmental factor were higher among the students from the Department of Cosmetology. According to correlation analysis, graduate students majoring in cosmetology were more satisfied as educational courses and thesis guidance were higher. In other graduate students, on the contrary, they were more satisfied as thesis guidance and academic operation increased. Furthermore, graduate students majoring in cosmetology were more satisfied with better facilities while other graduate students were more satisfied as facilities and administrative services improved. Since there has been no comparative study on educational satisfaction between graduate students majoring in cosmetology and other graduate students, it is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data for improving the quality of graduate school education.
