Odds ratio, measures of central tendency, dispersion, t-test, and chi-square were utilized. The study concluded that there was a causative relationship between the undergraduate course and stress levels based on the odds ratio. However, the estimate confidence level revealed that the observed difference was not statistically significant and there was no sufficient evidence to conclude the alternative hypothesis. It concluded that there was no significant relationship between the undergraduate course and stress levels of first year medical students in De La Salle Health Sciences Institute College of Medicine A.Y. 2016-2017.
