This study is a secondary study by Choi and Jang(2023), who proved the structural relationship among the factors of academic persistence intentions. Some of the research data were used, and the data were collected through an additional survey. It has been analyzed and identified in an integrated manner. The purpose of this study was to analyze the predictive variables, including academic persistence intentions, such as university image, university satisfaction, and major satisfaction, by major field. As of 2023, university students from freshman to senior or higher enrolled at a women's university in Seoul by the convenience sampling were studied. A total of 527 questionnaires were used for the final statistical analysis, excluding the questionnaires that were not available as analysis data. Excluding major satisfaction, it was found that there were the differences between groups in university image, university satisfaction, and academic persistence intentions by major field. Specifically, it could be interpreted that the subjects of the study were generally highly satisfied with the chosen major, and there was a difference between the arts and sport field and the engineering field for other variables. In order to maintain the continuity of college students' studies to the end, it is necessary to analyze them from the perspective of the university system and structure in terms of specialization of university and majors. Focusing on the university's specialization plan and mid-to long-term development plan, it is necessary to enhance the competitiveness of major, prevent dropout, and support the efforts customized to educational demanders. It would be an important basic data for each university to find the ways to overcome the practical difficulties faced by higher education institutions and devise the customized strategies.
