Abstract
The study assessed if the academic performance of the Criminology students may be considered as predictor of their performance in the Criminologist Licensure Examination (CLE). Findings revealed that the respondents did well in five performance areas in the CLE except in Criminalistics. The results also showed that five of the six performance areas evaluated had the interpretation of Good except for Correctional Administration (CA). No significant correlation was found between academic performance and CLE rating which means that the good academic performance of the students in college in the three areas such as Sociology of Crime and Ethics (CRIMSOC), Law Enforcement Administration (LEA) and CA do not necessarily assure them of passing the CLE. The findings of this research may serve as a tool in improving the students’ performance in the CLE.
