Abstract

: Taking into account that the graduation rate and its factors related to successful completion are relevant issues to guarantee the improvement of the quality, relevance, efficiency, and effectiveness of higher education institutions (HEIs). The central purpose of this research is to analyze the available scientific evidence on the graduation rate and factors related to successful completion, in order to provide important information that allows HEIs to implement strategies that intervene in the factors in a positive way that lead to increased student retention and graduation rates. For this, a systematic review was carried out. The pubmed, Medline, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springer, Taylor and Francis, and Google Scholar databases were used. Uncontrolled terms in Spanish, English and Portuguese were used for the search, since there are still no standardized health descriptors in the subject, these were: "graduation rate", "university student graduation", "graduation time". After the rigor evaluation, 9 articles were chosen for the comprehensive analysis and inclusion in the study. Two macro categories were identified, which are: factors related to successful completion and strategies that promote an increase in the graduation rate, these being the most influential to a greater extent with the problem raised.
