The study on the determinants in course preference of the 50 first year students of the School of Management and Entrepreneurship was conducted in the Biliran Province State University, Naval, Biliran. A descriptive research design was adopted in this study. According to the study' s findings, majority of the students in the School of Management and Entrepreneurship were came from TVL Track during their Senior High School and some are in GAS. It shows that majority of the students taking up BSHM and BSTM are not in the right track. The academic factor had the highest mean of 4.66 interpreted as "agree.” The respondents agreed that “Passion affect your decision to what course to take" (4:37), and “Talents, skills, and ability based” (4.16). On the other hand, the respondents were “undecided” that educational expectation, socio-economic factor friends/peers factor, and family background affect their decision in choosing the course. The study suggests that SME department should encourage activities for the students to lessen their stress level, attract more male students, and create activities to ensure that parents get value for their money.
