This study investigates internet addiction among third year college students in Yantai City, China, using a Sequential Explanatory Mixed Methods Design. The research locale includes four purposefully selected universities (A, B, C, and D) in Y district. A sample of 380 3rd year college students completed the researcher-made Internet Behavior and Academic Performance Assessment Tool (IBAPAT). Furthermore, 12 students participated in a semi-structured interview. Statistical analysis using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, ANOVA, and MANOVA were used to generate findings based on the collected quantitative data. Meanwhile, thematic analysis of interviews with ideological and political education students was conducted to generate themes and patterns within qualitative data. Objectives include assessing internet addiction prevalence, patterns of utilization, and correlations with academic performance. The study aims to contribute to theoretical research on network ideological and political education, guide social forces, and enhance college students' all-round development. Ethical considerations ensure participant consent, confidentiality, and data protection. The findings will inform interventions to mitigate internet addiction among college students.
