Potential predictors of length of study for finance and accounting degrees: evidence from a public business school in Saudi Arabia.

The accumulated evidence from developed countries indicates that a large proportion of undergraduates exceed the normal time to obtain their degrees before completing their baccalaureate studies, which has attracted the attention of academics and policy-makers. However, the evidence on degree completion in developing countries is scant to nonexistent. The present study aims to fill this gap by developing a predictive model to explore the impact of the student's preadmission criteria and academic performance indicators on the study length for graduates of the bachelor of business administration (BBA) degree in finance and accounting in a Saudi public university.
