Fr. Gregg L. Banaga, Jr. C.M. for sustaining excellence in the tertiary education through quality academic programs, research and community service. In keeping with the mandate of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to instill and nurture important qualities and skills in our students that are essential for future business leadership and organizational success, a graduates tracer study becomes imperative as a tool for improvement in the curricular offerings of the university, recommendations for faculty development programs to conform to the government’s call, and the application of integrated marketing communications to promote the BSBA <strong>Marketing</strong> Management and other programs of the university under the College of Business Administration. The industry needs for college graduates constantly change. What could have been appropriate and effective at one given time may prove to be futile at other times given different environments. This holds true more particularly for the business sector for which the business administration curriculum of the tertiary level are supposed to answer for human resources needs. A tracer study is descriptive research which involves the careful mapping out of a situation or set of events in order to describe what is happening ABSTRACT 43 behaviorally and assess the graduates’ employability, and eventually improve course offerings of the BSBA Programs. Data were collected through the use of questionnaires adapted from the Graduate Tracer Survey (GTS) form developed by the Commission on Higher Education. The high percentage of retrieval rate of the questionnaires was attributed to the fact that a big number of alumni joined in the celebration of the university’s 75 th Foundation Anniversary, or the Diamond Jubilee in 2007. FINDINGS Biographical data of the graduates revealed that a big percentage of the Business Administration alumni who graduated from school year 2001 up to 2006 are still single, belonging to age bracket 21 to 30 years of age. Age-turnover relationship shows that young professionals are more likely to quit and change their jobs until the “greener Pasteur” is found. In terms of gender, significant changes have taken place in the workplace whereby there is an increasing female participation rate. The assumption is that there is no significant difference in the employability of male and female since jobs of Business Administration graduates are not gendersensitive. As to the situational factors which influenced the qualifications of the respondents, data gathered reveal that the graduates’ reasons for taking their courses are due to influence of parents or relatives, prospects for immediate employment, availability of course offerings in chosen institutions, and prospects for attractive compensation. The factors which influenced the employment status of the graduates were identified as owing to their reasons for not being employed, and they vary from,
