This research explored the relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension among third-year criminology students at Initao College in the Philippines. The study employed a quantitative descriptive correlational research design, utilizing a structured questionnaire to assess morphological awareness and reading comprehension levels. The 238 participants were third-year criminology students enrolled in the academic year 2023-2024. Findings indicated varying levels of morphological awareness proficiency, with differences observed in compounding morphemes, suffix addition, and morpheme identification. Similarly, students exhibited diverse reading comprehension abilities, showcasing strengths in inference skills and challenges in extracting explicit information. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive moderate correlation between morphological awareness and reading comprehension, emphasizing the potential enhancement of comprehension skills through improved understanding of word structures. The implications of this study underscored the importance of incorporating targeted instructional interventions to refine teaching strategies for linguistic proficiency among criminology students. Future research may expand to broader student populations and employ mixed method designs for a comprehensive understanding of morphological awareness and reading comprehension dynamics in specialized academic contexts.
