Abstract
The purpose of this study is to construct a student-basesd performance evaluation model for business colleges in Taiwan. College graduates' job market results and their multi-dimensional ability developed in school are used as performance indicators. The value-added forms of these indicators are employed to assess the pure impact of school on student's performance. To avoid impractical relative indicator weights, we incorporate experts' weights from an AHP survey into the assurance region data envelopment analysis (AR/DEA) for empirical analysis. Empirical results show that, on average, public schools outperform private schools. However, we also find that some private schools perform better than average public schools. While the evaluation results of this research will be useful to higher education authorities for their management decisions, the results are also important to prospective college students in making their college selection decisions.
