Abstract—This study investigates the relationship of the
academic performance and the courses achievement of
undergraduate students at the faculty of science and technology.
Linear Regression Analysis and Pearson product Moment
Correlation Coefficient are used to determine which courses are
significant predictors. The correlation is being categorized from
12 curricula course structure. Data collected is from the sample
of 1619 online report submitted by science graduated students
who have graduated during the academic year 2013-2017. The
results of the study indicate that there is a positive significant
linear correlation between the course structure achievement and
the academic performance in each curriculum. 100 % of the
curricula, require major course achievement have a significant
effect on the grade point average. 92% of the curricula, elective
major course and professional English courses achievement
have a significant effect on the grade point average. Required
major course and elective major course are quite
strong relationship with academic success.
Index Terms—Academic performance, curriculum structure,
learning outcome, the proportion of the variation.
