Abstract
Many undergraduate students on Faculty of Education University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta who are beginning to fall in their motivation to study and then quit their study. Based on data in 2010 there were 20.22% students quit the study. Many factors that affect students quit their study. This research is expected to contribute to overcoming the problem. The purpose of this study is to determine what factors affect the student quit studying. This research uses Poisson or Binomial Negative regression analysis to know these factors. Both regression models used are equally the fit model to be used, because based on the result of overdispersion study did not occur. Based on the AIC and Log-Likelihood criteria it is concluded that negative binomial model is more fit than Poisson regression models. Wald test results for each parameter in the Negative Binomial regression are only three variables that affect students quit the study. The three parameters are the percentage of Jakarta students (X2), the percentage of male students (X3), the average student age (X4). The three variables have a positive effect, which means that increasing value in X2, X3, or X4 will increase the number of the students who quit studying.
