Abstract: The research training of undergraduate students has been done through the formulation of a written thesis and active participation with a researcher through research projects. The aim of the study was to analyze graduation rates of students who participated in a summer science program for the period from 2009 to 2012 and those, whom at end of the evaluation period had chosen, completed and submitted a research paper to finish their certification process by thesis mode at Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, México. The study design was non-experimental, descriptive, longitudinal and using a text mining technique for collecting and analyzing data. The results indicate that 18% of students who participated in the program graduated from this mode, highlighting engineering. The low index was for the area of medicine and health sciences. We conclude the results are related to problems in the operating model and tracking capabilities of student in the research program, not about knowledge area.
