This qualitative research investigates academic success as
an indicator of passing the criminology licensure examination through
a case study of four Urdaneta City University (UCU) alumni who
passed the exam. Data were gathered via in-depth interviews and
academic records, focusing on their academic performance and
preparation strategies. The study reveals that consistent academic
excellence, effective study habits, and active engagement in
criminology coursework significantly predict licensure exam success.
Participants emphasized the critical role of rigorous academic training,
practical experiences, and support from faculty and peers in their
exam preparation. This research provides valuable insights into the
ix
academic factors influencing licensure exam outcomes in criminology,
suggesting educational strategies to enhance student success.
