摘要：This research aims to study locus of control and its determined link to educational achievement of college students. Considering the results obtained from a study on 370 students, no significant difference is observed in internal-external locus of control among male and female students, but female students for the locus of chance control received higher scores than the male students (t=-1.98), p<0.05). The students of the faculties of basic sciences, psychology and educational sciences,, power and computer showed significant difference on the locus of internal control with (F=6.16, P<0.05) and external locus of control with (F=4.348, P<0.05). Internal locus of control with r=0.121 on the meaningful level of P<0.05 had a direct and positive relationship with the educational achievement of students.
