This study looks at learning strategies on the academic performance of business education students. Four null hypotheses were evaluated at the 0.05 alpha level, and three research questions were developed to direct the investigation. All business education students at Federal College of Education (T), Akoka, make up the study's population. Using a straightforward and purposeful selecting procedure, 150 students were selected from the public to serve as the study's sample. A pretest-posttest control group design was used in the study. The experimental group one was taught using cooperative learning strategies, group two was taught using individualized learning strategies while the control group was taught with traditional lecture method. A 20 items Business Studies Achievement Test (BSAT) was used to collect data for clarity and difficulty level based on the target audience while inferential statistic (ANOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses and validate the pilot test after all errors were corrected and difficulty level. Scheffe’s post hoc test was conducted where significant differences existed among more than two groups. The major findings of the study showed that there were significant differences between the groups (cooperative, individualized and the traditional group which serve as the control group) Fcal 8.791275 > Fcrit  3.057621, there were significant difference between the achievement levels of high, medium and low) in both the experimental and control group.
