Popis:	A pilot investigation was conducted among 100 randomly selected RCE graduates from four programs offered in three universities. The purpose of the study was to identify the percentage of those RCE graduates receiving their masters’ degrees between 1978 through 1982 who were performing administrative or supervisory duties, how soon after graduation those activities became part of their job, and how much time during a 40-hour work week they performed those functions. Based on a 72.5% return rate of an 11-item questionnaire, results indicated: (a) currently 74.2% are performing administrative/supervisory duties, whereas at the time of graduation only 36.4% were engaged in such activities; (b) the average length of time post-graduation before RCE graduates begin fulfilling managerial roles was 14.25 months; and (c) 54.6% of those performing such activities did so for 20 or more hours per week. Results of this study revealed a need for CORE to investigate further the need to include a Rehabilitation Administration and Supervision curriculum content area within RCE program accreditation standards.
