Abstract: This study determines the struggles of non-ABM students in college course mismatch among non- ABM freshmen students. With the aid of semi-structured interviews, data were collected from a sample of 10 students through face-to-face interview. Results show that non-ABM students entering the Accountancy program face significant academic and emotional challenges due to their lack of prior exposure to accounting and business concepts, which often leads to stress, pressure, confusion, and lowered motivation. Furthermore, despite these challenges, students showed resilience by using different coping strategies this includes self-study, leaning on classmates and online resources, managing their time well, and balancing schoolwork with personal well-being. The findings underscore the struggles encountered by non-ABM student who take business-related programs in college and their coping strategies and recommendation for future students who will encounter course-mismatch.
