Little research is available that describes how tertiary agricultural students cope with their first year university studies. This study attempted to till this void by focusing on self-efficacy, persistence and satisfaction. Structural equation modelling, using AMOS, was employed to test the validity of a model drawing on first year tertiary agricultural students from a rural-based university and an urban-based university. The results of this work show constructs in the model, including self-efficacy, future orientation, and generic skills self-estimates, were key predictors of student persistence and satisfaction.
