Abstract
In the context of a new democracy, the success of Kosovo university students is crucial to improving the material conditions and long-term stability of the youth in the country. Using the burgeoning data infrastructure from the public higher education sector, this analysis utilizes a sample of 67,618 to examine college student persistence and degree completion from 32 faculties. Findings demonstrate that persistence and completion are highly gendered phenomena, and that completion is largely dependent on a student’s major field of study.
