The Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program of De La Salle University-Manila is known for the quality of education and discipline it imposes upon its students. The modular program was an innovation introduced in all accounting and law subjects for BSA students in DLSU, and was made possible through the combined efforts of the faculty members of the Accountancy Department, in coordination with the Office of the Dean of the College of Business and Economics in 2003. This teaching approach has effectively contributed to the high achievement of the graduates on the CPA Board Examination, as well as to their professional competence. Aside from academic achievement, the researchers wanted to find out how this learning and teaching methodology affects the overall well-being of the students under the program. This research paper focused on the effects of the modular system, as reflected by the core competencies and instructional standards, to the study habits, emotional stability, and physical health of students who have successfully finished the BSA program of DLSU during the school year 2012 – 2013. This study used primary data through the distribution of online survey questionnaires to the population. The information gathered was analyzed through statistical tools such as the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and Multivariate Regression Analysis. The results showed that only core competencies or the knowledge, skills, and values obtained by the students are not significantly affected by the instructional standards of the different methods and ways that the concepts and lessons has been taught to them, and is more affected by how they have personally incorporated all the things that they have learned from the program. The results of this study may serve as a reference to any probable future review of the curriculum design of the Accountancy program of DLSU.
