Objective: The research objective is to analyze influential factors in student retention with a view to producing indicators for the management of Accountancy courses. The factors considered derive from the model by Cabrera, Nora and Castañeda (1992), including cognitive and behavioral factors as well as factors external to the institution. Method: The data were collected through a survey, involving a sample of 155 students from an undergraduate Accountancy program. The students' perception of the factors considered was measured on a Likert scale. The data were submitted to factorial analysis and structural equation modeling. Results: The results evidenced that the factors "encouragement by close persons" and "academic and intellectual development" were more important in the explanation of student retention. Contributions: The results contribute to the creation of mechanisms and indicators that affect the retention, contributing to the management of the Accountancy courses through the students' perception of the course and its context.
