Abstract:This paper presents a mathematical model of the flow of students enrolled in a college program through the curriculum. From a simplified model of the curriculum it is possible to estimate the number of students in every level, number of graduates and graduation times of an specific program or a set of programs. Some related phenomena, such as cancellation of courses, repetition, approval, registrations, transfers, loss of student’s quality and graduation are modeled. | ||
