The main purpose of this study was to make an Analysis of Factors Contributing to occupational Aspiration of Business Education Students of the Cross River University Technology (CRUTECH), Calabar.

A survey research design was adopted for the study. A total of two hundred (200) respondents were randomly selected for the study. The questionnaire was the major instrument used for data collection. Pearson product moment correlation and independent t-test analysis were employed to test the hypotheses guiding the study.
