Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the survival function, median survival time, and hazard function of the termination of undergraduate students in the Faculty of Science and Technology, Thammasat University, Thailand. Moreover, we aim to compare the survival time of termination of student status classified by curriculum, gender and domicile. Secondary data of 624 students were collected by the office of Registrar, Thammasat University. The research results showed that the undergraduate students of the Faculty of Science and Technology had the highest risk of termination of student status equal to 0.18 in the second semester of the 1st Year. This may be caused by students dropping out to take entrance examinations at other universities because they received a cumulative grade point average lower than the level specified by the university. Some students did not like their field of study. Finally, when boredom occurs, they use the method of changing their field of study or changing universities. The median survival time could not be determined because there were no cases where half of the students lost their status during the study period. When comparing the survival time of termination of student status classified by curriculum, gender and domicile. It can be found that students in each curriculum had a significant difference in the survival time of termination of student status (P-value = 0.005). Male and female students had no difference in survival time of termination of student status (P -value = 0.393) and students residing in Bangkok and other provinces had a significant difference in the survival time of termination of student status (P-value = 0.034).
