Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the internal factors affecting the success of students in the accounting courses in the curriculum of a vocational school which is not specifically intended to provide accounting education. The multiple regression model, developed as a research method, tests seven independent variables on students graduating between 2011-2017. The results of the study show that high school education is influencing success in accounting courses. Findings show that the academic tendencies measured by the average grade of the students are one of the determinants of the success of both accounting courses. In addition, success in an accounting course taken in previous year affects success of accounting course taken in the following year. The results of the study are important in terms of making more accurate decisions to improve quality of education in terms of academic decision makers and educational advisors.
