Courses focused on Agricultural Sciences have a large male participation, which ends up reinforcing that agricultural activities are of interest and responsibility only to men. However, in recent decades there has been an increase in female participation in these areas, whether due to the search for greater professional diversity or the current perception of the importance of environmental management and sustainable development. There are many motivations that can lead to this regression, such as family issues, economic issues and even inspirations, in addition, many others are raised with regard to this topic, mainly in the context of inequality between genders in career pursuits and of opportunities that are little explored and discussed since a woman's childhood, whether within the family or more externally. Therefore, the objective of this work was to infer the reasons that lead students from agricultural courses (both technical and higher education) at an HEI in the interior of Alagoas to give up on academic life. The present study was developed at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Alagoas (IFAL), on the Piranhas Campus. The research is qualitative in nature, descriptive in nature, where an explanation was made of the factors that lead to the regression of studies for female individuals, and is bibliographical, where texts and data were used to help understand the subject. The type of sampling used was non-probability convenience sampling. The questions were developed in the Likert style, being one of the most suitable for carrying out opinion research, developed in the United States in the 1930s and measuring the degree of compliance of the respondent with a statement, these are presented and the person interviewed issued the your degree of agreement with the sentence, among the answer options, are: 1) totally disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree and 5) totally agree. The factors listed for female dropout rates in Agricultural Sciences courses were issues related to the distance from the students' homes and adapting to their study routine, which becomes exhausting when combined with the route they travel every day. To discuss these points, one should not only focus on the problem itself, but on solutions that could be fundamental to reducing the number of female students dropping out of their respective courses. Therefore, consider the factors that make them believe that completing their course and continuing their academic life is crucial for their future. Techniques for integrating these students into the social and academic environment can help them stay and possibly help them resolve some type of problem faced outside the institution.ptEvasãoCiências agráriasMulheresQuestão de GêneroEvasionAgricultural SciencesWomenTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS HUMANAS
