摘要：The attrition rate among doctoral students is a problem that has been well documented. Numerous studies have been devoted to investigate the reasons for early exit among doctoral students. The isolation feeling that is often felt by doctoral students has been cited as one of the primary reasons for attrition in doctoral programs. This paper is a study to show the effect of isolation among doctoral students. It uses one doctoral program in Information Systems and Communications as a case study to: establish a hypothesis based on the literature on attrition in doctoral programs, take data collected from survey questions distributed to students currently enrolled in this doctoral program, and then analyze data from the survey questions to accept or reject the hypothesis.
