The technical institute in this study has elected to have the drop out rate of one their many programs' examined. This report will identify and examine factors contributing to the high attrition rate in -- Technical Institute's Business and Office Technology Programs. Summarily, high school grades, aspirations, intensity of motivation and admission scores influence the attrition rates of postsecondary students. Postsecondary administrators must consider changing paradigms in today's technologically advanced society when they make modifications to accommodate student needs. Student needs for course offerings, scheduling, and support services must be incorporated in modification plans developed to address the changing paradigms.
