Abstract
An approach designed to bring order into the college selection process is presented. It takes individual needs and requirements into consideration by providing a framework in which each person can make his decision based on criteria which he alone has established. First the factors are listed that affect the decision and weights are assigned to each according to their relative importance. The process is further qualified by choosing measures pertaining to each factor and sources of information about each. A number of subdecisions are then made by rating each of the possible colleges with respect to each of the factors. The results of these subdecisions are combined to arrive at a major decision, the choice of the best college. When followed to its conclusion, the method should result in the optimal utilization of available information and as a result in the choice of a college that is best for each individual. Following a step‐by‐step introduction of the process including some examples, suggestions are offered on ways to introduce the approach to students.
