To give an answer and a solution to the inconveniences that dropout brings to
universities and to society, we have studied the different approaches that exists in
the actual scientific literature about the reasons of this phenomenon. The aim of this
investigation is analyzing the college dropout, focalizing in students of education
degrees of Andalusian universities. For doing that, we applied a standardized
instrument that pretend to determine which are the factors associated to the
permanence of the college students. The instrument was applied to 608 students
of the first year of six Andalusian universities. Of these, 274 were studying Infant
education degree and 334 Primary education degree. The study shows that a large
sample of the subjects interviewed responded with higher scores 3.83, stating the
need to remain in their undergraduate studies, with few references to dropping out
of the university. Some of the items that have obtained the highest ratings express
their desire to graduate with honors, become a good professional and practice their
profession within their field of work, among others
