The objective was to determine the impact of study habits on academic performance, focusing on a group of Business Administration undergraduate students at the Tejupilco Academic Professional Unit of the Autonomous University of Estado de Mexico. The group consisted of 173 students of both sexes and was conducted during the 2016 B academic term. The frequencies of certain study habits were calculated using the Study Habits Inventory system. A qualitative approach was used. According to the results, the students showed medium-low to medium-high levels of study habit utilization on the study environment, study planning, usage of materials, content comprehension, and sincerity scales. Conclusively, according to Pearson’s correlation, the five scales had no statistical significance (P<0.05).
