The population of the study was the third semester students. The emotional intelligence data were collected through a questionnaire in the form of statements. Data analysis techniques to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and learning outcomes were conducted through statistical testing using simple linear regression. The results showed that the average emotional intelligence of the students obtained was 2.84 with a scale range between 2.00 to 2.99 which means that the value is low, and the emotional intelligence data frequency distribution of the students were 18.4% higher, 66.23% moderate, and 15.37% lower. Moreover, the scores of the emotional intelligence questionnaire and the students’ learning outcomes formed a linear model Y=61. 03+0.133X. Further, the correlation analysis between the emotional intelligence and the learning outcomes showed that r count have a correlation between variables X and Y with the value of r count =0.177 and the scores of t count > t table or 2.318 > 1.96 at 95% of the confidence level were indicating a significant correlation between emotional intelligence and learning outcomes.
