This dissertation investigates factors influencing undergraduate degree performance in the College of Business at Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with faculty and students to identify challenges and strategies for enhancing academic outcomes. Key themes identified include the impact of faculty mentorship, curriculum relevance, technological integration, and institutional support on student success.

This research suggests strategies for curriculum enhancement, improved academic support, and stronger industry partnerships. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the specific needs of business students at Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College and provide actionable insight for improving undergraduate education in HBCU business schools. This dissertation offers a comprehensive analysis of factors affecting degree performance and proposes strategies that could be adopted by business schools to improve student outcomes. The limitations of this study and recommendations for future research are discussed, highlighting areas for continued exploration in the field of business education.
