| Summary: | [EN] The present article intends to deepen in the university academic drop-out and its causes. It focuses on identifying the factors that lead students to abandon the degree they are currently studying. The relevance of this problem in Spain is emphasized, because this fact causes a decrease in personal development, as well as a relevant social and economic impact. For this purpose, an empirical analysis of a descriptive statistical nature is developed with a sample of 430 students, in which it is analyzed in particular, the relationship between the student’s intention to abandon the degree with several variables such as: the position given when filling out the pre-registration document for university access; the reasons that motivated the election; the degree and the current course; as well as the ownership structure of the origin school center. Results confirm a relationship between the studied variables, showing that 7.2 percent of the students will drop-out in the in the current course, being highly probable a higher unexplored abandon rate. |
