Abstract

Background/Objectives: The study aimed to determine the relationship between the students’ academic performance in Mathematics and Financial Management courses and establish a benchmark in determining the success of students in passing their major course Financial Management, which is the foundation of all major courses in the program BSBA Major in Financial Management. Methods/Statistical analysis: Results show that there was a weak positive relationship between the students’ academic performance in College Algebra and Financial Management course. The results also showed that there was a weak positive relationship between the students’ academic performance in Math of Investment and Financial Management course. Findings: It was recommended that College Algebra should also be part of the retention policy for the BSBA Financial Management Program since it was proven that it was a predictor of the students’ academic performance in Financial Management course, which is the core of all major courses in the program. Improvements/Applications: It was also recommended that the required grade for both College Algebra and Math of Investment courses in the Retention Program should be at least 2.25 to increase the chances of success of students in passing their major course Financial Management, which is the foundation of all major courses in the program BSBA Major in Financial Management.
