An interruption rate of foreign students is on the rise, causing various problems. This study attempted to examine the effects of personal and social variables, career maturity and social support, and employment barriers and university satisfaction on foreign students' intention to stop studying. To this end, 176 foreign students from three vocational colleges in Daegu were surveyed by producing questionnaires in Korean, English, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Mongolian, including career maturity, social support, job barriers, college satisfaction, and academic interruption measures. In addition, post-test, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis of t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan were performed using the SPSS 25.0 program. Using this, four aspects were examined: demographic factors affecting academic interruption intention, individual and social factors, employment barrier factors, and educational institution-related factors. First, among the demographic factors behind the population, nationality, curriculum, and motivation to go to school were found to have a statistically significant effect on academic interruption intention. Second, among individual and social factors, the factor that had an effect on the intention to discontinue school was confirmed to be the social support of the professor. Third, it was found that the higher the employment barrier, the higher the intention to stop studying. Fourth, it was found that the more satisfied you are with your university, the lower the intention to stop studying is. Based on the research results, policies for the continuation of foreign students' studies were proposed and discussed with university institutions and the government.
