The study employed survey research design. The population consisted of undergraduates of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. Simple random sampling technique was employed in selecting three Faculties in the University, comprising Education, Administration and Arts. Purposive sampling technique was equally employed in selecting fifty students in each of the three faculties comprising undergraduate from intact and broken homes. An instrument was constructed by the investigator to elicit information from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentages, RSI, and t-test statistics. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the academic achievements of undergraduates from intact homes and broken homes (t=67.42, p>0.05). The study concluded that some of the factors which caused academic failures are linked to pre-marital cohabitation and pre-marital childbearing, socio economic status and insecurity as well as early marriage and couples with divorced parents.
