A comparative study of the performance in the CPA board examination of the DLSU accountancy graduates of the single and double degree under the modular program for the period May 2007 to May 2009

This study developed a model which compared the performance of DLSU students under the single and double degree accounting programs, who underwent the modular program. It involved a population of 233 graduates, 210 of which were graduates under the single degree program and 23 were graduates under the double degree program. The researchers used f-test and t-test to determine whether significant differences existed between the performances of the two groups in the CPA board examination per subject and in the overall examination or the general average. Statistical measures were also computed to determine who had performed better between the two groups
