A Bachelor of Property, attrition and flex students : a preliminary examination of the challenges of retaining students

This paper examines the literature on student attrition and proposes a framework for the examination of attrition of students from CQUniversity’s Bachelor of Property. The examination and understanding of student attrition is of importance as attrition is not only of concern to higher education providers, property educators and the property profession to ensure the continued viability of the Bachelor of Property as a program of study and a tertiary study option for aspiring property professionals.
