Abstract

Purpose: The upcoming research has been compiled to evaluate the effects of tuition fees on the academic decisions of Tehran University Management Faculties students

Methodology: This research is descriptive research. The statistical population of this research consists of all master's and Ph.D. students of the management faculties of Tehran University in the last five years (2015-2020). The natural experiment method was also used for data analysis.

Findings: Two different statistical models were fitted. In the first model, the independent variable (type of course for tuition payers) was significant in deciding to drop out, while the independent variable (year) was found to be significant in deciding to take a leave of absence. In the second statistical model, independent variables (age, GPA, and degree) were significant for the academic decision to drop out, and the independent variable (year) was significant for the academic decision to leave

Conclusion:Among the variables affecting, the type of tuition-paying course was variable in such a way that the ratio of the probability of the academic decision to drop out for tuition-paying students is almost twice the ratio of the academic decision to drop out for non-tuition students in the faculties of management of the University of Tehran
