The evasion phenomenon in higher education has been investigated for many years, and furthermore in different scenarios, such as traditional and distance learning, or even comprehending different kind of courses and research methodologies; always strongly recommended by researchers to carry out even more specific researches, to generate more consistent data for educational institutions managers to take actions. In context, it can be seen that there are still very few specific researches about student´s motives to dropout higher education, an audience that today represents around 25% of the Brazilian population and which has developed its own characteristics and behaviors distinct from previous generations. Thus, the problem of this research lies in understanding why the young Paraiban is a student of a confessional HEI, is giving up administration. Supported by a qualitative research, using a case study method and based on interview techniques, documents analysis and focus groups, the purpose of this study was to raise the causes that lead young people from a confessional HEI, located at Vale do Paraíba, to abandon their Business Administration course before its conclusion, analyzing further than merely formal responses presented at the time of abandonment, but also understanding the full context of the situation. The results have shown that the evasion of the subjects investigated, regardless of its first and formal declaration seeming to have a single cause, runs through an accumulation of factors that leads to dissatisfaction and frustration with the student experience, such as pedagogical, administrative and personal issues. In addition, it has been noted an inadequacy in the process of preventing evasion by the researched teaching institution, which is, without known motives, decreasing in its overall number of students, as well as not being able to access all information load that these students have. The present study can cooperate in understanding the universe of the students studied and their dissatisfaction, especially in the learning extent, however, such research brings limitations in field of application and geographical location. Future studies in other courses, institutions and geographical regions, may assist in the construction of a more thorough perspective.
