In this research, a survey of the effect of English and mathematics as prerequisites on university students' success in the related subjects has been scientifically done. The research subjects were 300 students of Faculty of Social Sciences, Tehran University who passed the courses related to English and mathematics as their prerequisites.
The research hypothesis was:
English and mathematics as prerequisites have no effect on university student's success in the related subjects.
After doing this research and based on the research findings, one may conclude that it is quite on the contrary. The research findings demonstrate that passing the prerequisite English course is effective on general English while it has no effect on E.S.P. Passing the prerequisite math course is effective on the related subjects such as basic math, introductory statistics, social science statistics, principles of economics, micro-economics, macro-economics,..., courses. In addition, the other factors such as high school average, university average, high school diploma,..., have been effective as well.
