Abstract :
This study aimed to explore the effects of the Immersion program on first-year college students and its relationship with
their course selection aspirations. It sought to identify the factors that contribute to the success or failure of immersion
programs in shaping the course preferences of previous grade 12 students at NSNU. The study considered the students'
demographic profiles, their chosen immersion program, and the course they pursued in college. Employing a
quantitative research approach with a correlation research design, the researchers collected data from respondents who
had participated in the immersion program in the previous academic year. The findings revealed that 52.7% of the
respondents did not consider their home environment when selecting a college course, while 47.3% did. Furthermore,
80% of the respondents chose to continue their immersion programs in college. These results indicate that the
implementation of the Immersion program in the Philippines has been effective in assisting students with their college
course choices. The respondents exhibited favorable attitudes toward immersion programs and acknowledged their
benefits. However, the impact of external factors on course selection varied among individuals. The program was seen as
a valuable source of guidance, confidence, and college preparation. To ensure the success of immersion programs, it is
recommended that NSNU monitor and evaluate outcomes, enhance program effectiveness, and establish collaborative
partnerships with industry stakeholders. This can be achieved through continuous data collection, necessary adjustments
based on feedback, and regular program evaluations. By adopting these measures, NSNU can improve student outcomes
and facilitate a seamless transition from high school to college.
