Greater competition for dwindling resources among different sectors of economies including education sector and its sub-sectors has brought the internal efficiency of educational institutions especially universities to sharp focus. This study determined the internal efficiency of humanities departments compared with applied science departments in two leading Ghanaian universities. Stratified random and snowball sampling techniques were used to sample of 124 applied science and 194 humanities research participants who responded to questionnaire for the study. The independent sample t-Test was employed to test hypothesis at p˂.05 alpha level of significance. The study concludes among others that graduation rate is statistically higher in the humanities departments than in the applied science departments and that the use of science laboratory equipment only partially facilitates study completion in the applied science departments. The study recommends the provision and use of more modern equipment in science laboratories to inspire students’ study completion and to make science departments more internally efficient as compare to humanities departments in the universities.
