Resumen

The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the personal, academic, institutional and socioeconomic risk factors associated with student dropout at Lasallista University Institution. The sample consisted of 281 students enrolled in different programs offered by the University in 2010 and 31 students who had dropped out in 2009. Two scales were constructed asking for factors that could affect academic dropouts and for students who had interrupted their studies at university. The descriptive analysis used involved performing the frequency distribution and obtaining measures of central tendency to find factors related to desertion according to participant’s opinion. The results showed that risk factors for academic dropping out are predominantly socioeconomic, then we found institutional factors and having the lower percentages distributions were academic and personal factors.
