This document outlines the methodology for a study comparing business students from Valenzuela State University (VSU) in the present to students from Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) in the past. The study will establish profiles of current VSU students, determine factors influencing their degree choice and the timing of that decision. It will also assess student suitability and compare graduation rates of VSU and LPU students. Comparisons will be made between the profiles of current VSU students and past LPU students using statistical tests.
