The social economic circumstances and the academic rentability

Abstract

In this paper we present the results of a research about the relationship between the social economic characteristics of the students and their academiec achievement at university level. The sample was formed with students of business administration from the business schools of Girona and Sabadell. The results show that the students can be classified in three social economic categories: low middle and high. They also show that the academic achievement can not be associated to any dermined category. This can be explained by the fact that the educational system has already done a selection in previous levels of studies.
