Among the main challenges for higher education institutions in the country, is to achieve greater coverage of young people who graduate from secondary education to higher education, in which HEIs have had to resort to new strategies for resource management, necessary to promote greater coverage, permeance and successful completion of the student body in educational institutions. However, given the great importance of higher education for the country, as a basis for social, political, technological and economic growth, which requires professionals with greater abilities and skills in the medium and long term; have led the national government through the Ministry of National Education-MEN to propose new initiatives to improve the quality of higher education, based on the mechanisms for monitoring, control and verification of the quality conditions of academic programs . Therefore, Decree 1330 (2019) and Decree 021795 (2020), imply significant changes in the procedures associated with obtaining qualified records. That is why this study seeks to provide information for compliance with the quality conditions required by the Mineducación, in relation to the analysis by academic periods of the following indicators of similar reference programs: People enrolled, admitted and enrolled in first course; total enrolled and graduated; dropout rates by cohort and by academic period. From this perspective, the present investigation was approached from a study at a descriptive level, with a quantitative and documentary design approach. The data were obtained from the National Higher Education Information System (SNIES) and the System for the Prevention and Analysis of Dropout in Higher Education Institutions (SPADIES); Hence, the results allow to conclude the state of the academic programs of Public Accounting from a national perspective, to later land it at the regional level and end with an institutional analysis of the program.
