Course Program Migration and External Transfer Analysis in Davao Oriental State University
Abstrak
This study investigates the key factors driving students to shift between different course programs at Davao Oriental State University (DOrSU). Using a qualitative approach, the research examines academic, social, and institutional influences that affect program migration. Data were collected through interviews with students who experienced program shifts, selected through a convenience sampling method. Thematic analysis, revealed recurring themes such as academic challenges, misalignment of career aspirations, peer influence, and institutional barriers, including limited faculty support and rigid policies. Additionally, financial constraints and evolving career goals were found to play a significant role in students' decisions to change programs. The findings provide valuable insights for the university to enhance academic advising, improve student support services, and align programs with career aspirations, ultimately aiming to reduce program migration rates and improve student retention.
