Based on the superior accreditation achieved, this study presents data on students who excel in academic aspects. However, the analysis results show that students who achieve high achievement in certain semesters tend to experience a decline in achievement in other semesters. Therefore, this decline in academic achievement creates a phenomenon in the learning environment of students in the Undergraduate Management Study Program at Mercu Buana University.
