| Περιγραφή: | Retention and completion of university studies are issues of both academic and social significance due to their impact on professional development, equity in access to higher education, and opportunities for social mobility. This article examines the factors affecting retention and completion of university education among students in degree programs at the Coto campus of the National University of Costa Rica, cohorts 2018-2020. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving structured interviews with fourth-year students across all degree programs at the campus. The results indicate that personal motivation is key to retention and completion. This is reinforced by the desire to obtain professional qualifications and improve the family’s economic situation, which drives students to overcome difficulties in order to achieve their academic goals. |
