The study of academic engagement takes effect at the internationally and national level; if taken into account the social environment characterized by liquidity; even more, if it is considered how the desertion of the students increased in the university level in the last years in the Argentine Republic. In this context, we present the results of a research with 350 university and tertiary level students, who attend technical, humanistic-pedagogical and economics careers, and completed the Academic engagement Scale (Daura and Durand, 2018) with the objective of analyzing, on the one hand, what is their level of engagement with their studies; and on the other, to examine the existing link with demographic variables.
