This study has attempted to identify the factors affecting student dropouts in the graduate level at the university. In this research, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used. A dropout survey was developed and used to determine which factors affect student attrition from the university programs. 147 students who had dropped out were asked to explain reasons behind their decisions. They have been contacted over phone and/or personally. The findings show that the most important factor affecting student dropouts is pressure of study. Financial problems and going abroad took the second and the third places. Beside finding the reasons for dropouts, this paper has tried to recommend some policies to control this leakage.
