The study was conducted to determine the mastery level of the learning competencies in Mathematics of the Bachelor of Science in Education students in one of the State Colleges in Northern Negros. It employed the Descriptive Research Design. The respondents were the 154 Bachelor of Science in Education students of the State College in Northern Negros. Stratified random sampling was employed in the selection of respondents. The study utilized the researcher-made test. The results showed that the Bachelor of Science in Education students had a very low level of mastery of the learning competencies in Mathematics when taken as a whole and when grouped according to sex and high school of origin. It revealed that the mean difference of the mastery level of the learning competencies in Mathematics when grouped according to sex was significant at 0.05 alpha level, therefore the hypothesis was rejected and when grouped according to school of origin was not significant, thus the hypothesis is accepted. Based on the results of the study, an Enhancement of the Remedial Program in Mathematics was made to improve the mastery level of the learning competencies in Mathematics.
