Abstract: The objective of this research study was to show the influential factors that determine student desertion in a private university in northern Lima. The methodology used is descriptive in scope with a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The population is made up of students belonging to the Business Administration career who dropped out in the period 2019 and 2020. The sample was obtained probabilistically resulting in 134 students, to then collect data concerning the behavior of the research variables with respect to the elements of the socioeconomic, sociological and institutional factors that influence academic retention; also the Likert evaluation scale consisting of 20 questions was used. In addition, the results were analyzed in an orderly manner based on the information obtained for the statistical development of graphs and tables; and thus corroborate the objectives and the hypothesis raised in the research. The reliability valuation obtained according to the statistical use of Cronbach's alpha was 0,716, which means that the instrument has an acceptable reliability valuation
