The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between raw scores of sub test in 2007 Student Selection Examination (OSS) with and high school Grade Point Average (HSGPA) and freshman grade point average (FGPA) in the teaching programs in faculty of educaion. This study, which is the relational survey type of research, was carried out on early childhood teacting, hard of hearing teaching, chemistry teaching, elementary teaching, social science teaching and elementary mathematics teaching. Data related to dependent variables (FGPA) used in this study have been gathered from universities' student affairs information centers. Data related to independent variables have been received from Student Selection and Placement Center (OSYM). In the study freshmen's raw scores in the sub tests of OSS was considered as first set of variable (independent variables) while academic general average points was considered as second set of variable (dependent variables). So in order to define the correlation between these two set of variables canonical correlation was calculated. At the end of the analysis canonical coefficients, loadings and cross loadings were examined. As a result of the study, It was found that different relationships between independet variables and dependent variables in teaching programs.
