Resumo
The aim of the present study was to identify the social characteristics of undergraduate students in Ecuador. Several analyses were carried out for this purpose; namely descriptive and multidimensional analyses. The descriptive analysis reveals the frequencies and percentages of the variables used in the study. The multidimensional analysis of multiple correspondences shows the differentiation criteria, and the hierarchical analysis classifies respondents based on their common characteristics. The results of this study reveal the characteristics of current undergraduate students in Ecuador and as such can help government and other higher educational authorities to develop future policies regarding undergraduate study in Ecuador.
