College major of flight students was investigated as a possible predictor of success in naval aviation training. Each of 1245 pilot trainees was placed into one of ten categories according to his college major. Three dichotomous criteria of success/failure were used. The extent to which the inclusion of college major categories contributed to the multiple prediction of success in flight training was examined by the Wherry-Doolittle technique. Their contribution was determined both as primary selection variables and as predictors after the completion of academic training. The inclusion of college major categories both as primary and as secondary selection variables significantly increased the multiple prediction of success/failure in naval aviation training.
