Abstract: This research study, was conducted at Bohol Island State University- Bilar Campus, it investigated gender differences in co-curricular involvement and academic performance among third and fourth-year college students. The study used a descriptive research design. The findings revealed that there was no significant difference between gender and co-curricular involvement, suggesting that all students, regardless of gender identity, have equal opportunities to participate in such activities. However, there was a significant difference in academic performance between genders, with female students outperforming their other genders. These indicated that gender played a significant role in academic outcomes at BISU-Bilar. The study concluded that while gender does not influence participation in co-curricular activities, it played a significant role in academic performance at the university. The researchers recommended that the school promote inclusive co-curricular activities that cater to the diverse gender identities within the school community and encourage students to participate in co-curricular activities while maintaining a balance with their academic performance.
