Abstract: One of the most concerning problems that higher education institutions are facing recently is the high dropout rate of students enrolled at all levels of study. Consequently, the dropout phenomenon and the determinants of success in completing university studies are increasingly attracting the attention of both researchers and decision makers. This paper revisits the problem of identifying the factors accountable for success in higher education and complements the aspects addressed in Agapie et al. (2020) by suggesting a basic set of measures based on Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC).

Keywords: university dropout; principal component analysis (PCA); agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC). (search for similar items in EconPapers)
