Abstract
Dropout in the educational sector represents a problem for the national education system of any country, the dropout rate is negatively reflected in the economic, social and cultural processes of a country's development. A correlation analysis was carried out to identify the variables that influence dropout according to data from the last 10 years in the engineering faculty of a public university in Colombia. It was identified that students who are more likely to drop out are those who have a low academic performance and/or live far from the University.
