Summary/Abstract: In our researches we have aimed to create predictive models of academic success and intention to persist in a higher education program. Several administrative data – both individual and educational – from the first two semesters of university education together with numerous other variables (such as psychological and motivational factors, and satisfaction with the training) were analyzed in order to assess which of these could be useful in predicting academic success or failure (dropout) in the course of higher education training program. Socioeconomic variables that were supposed to correlate with the intention of accomplishing higher education program were also analyzed.
