Student desertion is recognized as a problem of important representation within the educational system, which directly affects the training of professionals in society. This article analyzes the predictors and indicators of student dropout in the academic programs of the Universidad de la Costa in the 2006-2 cohort, taking into account the periods of dropout and permanence of the student. Two statistical strategies were used: factorial analysis and survival analysis by program to establish the degree of risk of dropping out of the different programs. The statistical method was the principal component analysis (PCA) based on mathematics, which sought the transformation of a group of uncorrelated variables and factor analysis. The results obtained allow us to affirm that there are four factors that affect the phenomenon of desertion: the socioeconomic factor, the personal, academic and institutional.
