This paper replicates Malgwi's 2006 article Discerning accounting and non-accounting students' perception in the first course in accounting as a proxy for separate course delivery . Its purpose is to determine the need to have a separate course delivery between BSA and non-BSA on basic accounting. Based on the results, there is a significant difference in the perceptions of BSA and non-BSA in terms of their interest level before and after taking basic accounting, in terms of the level of importance for the course and in terms of their confidence level while taking basic accounting examinations. The academic performance of the students has significant relationship to the perceptions in terms of interest, importance and confidence levels. Thus, a separate course delivery is encouraged for the CBE students of DLSU-Manila.
