Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the internal variables that affect the academic performance of students in the Finance and International Business Administration program at the University of Córdoba-Colombia, which are related to the socioeconomic, academic, family and personal characteristics of the students. To achieve the above, a survey was applied with 12 questions with binary answers, three for each characteristic, which indicated the conditions in which 74 students of the microeconomics course of the program found themselves, which became the explanatory variables. The responses, which were tabulated, were used as independent variables to adjust two qualitative response Logit regression models in which academic performance was considered as a dichotomous dependent variable with values of one if the student failed the course with a grade lower than three out of five and zero otherwise. The results indicate that the models were statistically significant with 99% confidence levels and that the variables that have an effect on academic performance are preferences for other programs, preferences for other subjects, insufficient quantitative bases, little dedication to study for work reasons and states of stress and anxiety; which were statistically significant with a confidence level of 95%. It is concluded that the University of Cordoba should implement programs aimed at providing alternative solutions to these problems and deepen the existing ones, given that it has a regulatory framework that makes them possible
