Accordingly, the findings were that in order for students to be successful in their degrees they need to have dedicated time to put forth into their studies. They would also require strong persistence within themselves to aid them through completion. In order for a student to be successful they should pick a program that they have researched. They should educate themselves of the demands that the selected field will require. Tinto V. (1993) (p.231) wrote that an important reason why there is less research on doctoral attrition than on undergraduate attrition is because "research on graduate attrition has not been guided either by a comprehensive model or theory of graduate persistence or by the methodological strategies that have been successfully

Universities persistently have faced dropout rates of 40-70% depending on the literature review according to Bair, C. R., & Howorth, J.G. (1990). Doctoral persistence is a topic that resumes as a research topic by scholars. The insufficiency of doctoral persistence is showing up to 60% of doctoral students will not acquire their degree. There are several causes that cannot be defined by one specific reason. Researchers have attempted to conduct several studies throughout various environments to comprehend this epidemic. Golde, C. M. (2005) states that 40% of students who began their doctoral program will not complete …show more content…
It could assist in defining the phenomenon to the description of doctoral persistence. It shall support in gathering the main focus in each of the students experience and then analyzing them and concluding with a consensus.
Phenomenology, due to its complexity, is considered both qualitative and quantitative. It will support in gathering the data to better understand the emotions behind each student’s experiences with doctoral persistence during their studies. This research will aid to understand the groups of both students who graduated with a doctoral degree or those who lacked doctoral persistence. Phenomenology research states that it often benefits groups of individual with similar experiences. The data collected may aid in understanding the experiences gathered from the both groups of students.
