This paper presents the main results of a research about successfully completing college studies. More specifically, we consider one of the aspects of the study: the influence of college students’ values on their academic evolution. The research was conducted with a random sample of 744 students from three different CEGEPS. A portrait of college students’ values in relation with their successful completion of studies is reproduced. A comparison with other research papers (Québécois, Canadian and European) was carried out at the same time to better contextualize the results of our research. Also, this paper intends to evaluate the importance of college students’ values on successfully completing their studies, both regarding academic achievement and persistence in school. According to our research, students’ values are among the most decisive aspects for successfully completing college studies. Finally, this paper suggests some intervention parameters that aim to promote successful completion of college studies. These parameters were conceived based on the research results and they include social factors related to the college students’ reality, especially to their values.
