Abstrak: Studi tentang Faktor Dominan dalam Pemilihan Perguruan Tinggi Swasta

Penelitian ini berawal dari fenomena penutupan perguruan tinggi oleh Kemenristekdikti pada 2019 yang penyebabnya adalah kurangnya jumlah mahasiswa. Hal tersebut bertolak belakang dengan jumlah lulusan SMA dan SMK yang sangat berlimpah dan surplus. Berdasarkan penelitian di beberapa negara mengenai faktor dominan yang menjadi alasan calon mahasiswa memilih perguruan tinggi swasta tertentu, maka penelitian ini juga melakukan hal serupa di Indonesia yaitu penelitian mengenai faktor-faktor penting yang menjadi alasan siswa memilih suatu perguruan tinggi. Alat pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner yang diturunkan dari model bauran pemasaran. Responden adalah mahasiswa aktif di beberapa perguruan tinggi di Bandung Raya. Pengolahan data dengan analisis faktor menggunakan software SPSS 22. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa faktor dominan yang menjadi pertimbangan calon mahasiswa memilih perguruan tinggi swasta, yaitu: (1) Faktor pemasaran; (2) Faktor tempat belajar (ruang kelas dll); (3) Faktor prodi yang menarik dan lulus tepat waktu; (4) Faktor lokasi kampus, (5) Faktor biaya kuliah, dan (6) Faktor kemampuan dosen.
