An impact assessment of a curriculum is important and necessary for adapting to the ever-evolving needs of education. This study aimed to determine the utilization of program competencies of the graduates from years 2019 to 2022 of the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) at the Laguna State Polytechnic University – San Pablo City Campus. Descriptive and quantitative research was utilized. A survey was administered to forty (40) employers of BSBA graduates. The questionnaire intended to measure the extent the graduates use the program competencies in their present work, which include being analytical of the business environment, creativity in the preparation of operational plans, innovation in coming up with business ideas, and the use of business research capability. The majority of the graduates are working in the financial and Business Process Outsourcing industry which is aligned to the curriculum of the BSBA program. All the program competencies are deemed to be practiced to a great extent except business research capability, which is assessed to be exercised to a low extent. Being creative in the preparation of operational plans differs significantly among the graduates when they are grouped according to year graduated and position. It is suggested that the curriculum of the BSBA program as well as the delivery of instruction for such curriculum should provide more emphasis on the conduct of business and marketing research that would enhance the equipment of the students with this program competency.
