Zusammenfassung: In diesem Artikel wird eine Typologie exmatrikulierter Bachelorstudierender anhand ihrer subjektiven Exmatrikulationsgründe entwickelt. Datengrundlage für die durchgeführte Clusteranalyse bildet eine Befragung der ohne Abschluss exmatrikulierten Bachelorstudierenden (Abbrecher und Hochschulwechsler) an der Freien Universität Berlin im Sommersemester 2007 (n=375). Die vier identifizierten Cluster beschreiben deutlich unterschiedliche Problemlagen und wurden entsprechend mit den Begriffen "überfordert" (25%), "enttäuscht" (18%), "verwählt" (36%) und "strategisch Wechselnd" (21%) bezeichnet. Die Ergebnisse werden im Vergleich mit Typologien von Abbrechern aus den früheren Diplom-, Magister- und Staatsexamensstudiengängen diskutiert, es wird die Verteilung der vier Typen auf die Fächergruppen dargelegt und es werden entlang der jeweiligen Problemlagen Interventionsmöglichkeiten zur Reduzierung der Exmatrikuliertenquote diskutiert.

Abstract: Based on personal reasons given by students for quitting their studies, the authors develop a typology of students in bachelor courses who were taken off the university register. The cluster analysis is based on interviews carried out at a large German university during the summer semester of 2007 among students from bachelor courses of studies (n=375) who were removed from the university register without a degree (dropouts and students changing university). The four clusters identified describe clearly diverse problems and are accordingly labeled as "overtaxed" (25%), "disappointed" (18%), "wrong choice" (36%), and "strategic change" (21%). The results are discussed in comparison with typologies of dropouts from former diploma-, masters-, or state exam courses of studies. The diversification of the four types into the different groups of disciplines is explained and, finally, possibilities of intervention are discussed in reference to the respective problems in order to reduce the quota of dropouts.
Key words: undergraduate studies, to de-register, college drop-out, studies, University
