Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the socio-demographic characteristics, high school success and motives for studying of “freshmen” at the Faculty of Agriculture enrolled in undergraduate study programs in the academic year 2020/2021. Data were collected through an online survey in which 106 freshmen participated. Respondents were divided into two groups with the aim of determining the differences between students of Agricultural Economics and other study programs. The research rejected the assumption that agroeconomists are more successful during high school education. On the other hand, the assumption that there are no significant differences in the motives of studying between the students of the two groups was confirmed, as well as the assumption that fresh agroeconomists are more interested in starting their own entrepreneurship in agriculture.
