Abstract

Measuring quality of education is one of the
most important issues of the Universities management.
The final result of the good quality evaluation gives
precise guidelines of improvements and what should be
done to increase efficiency in the high education
productivity, whose target is to deliver knowledge and
skills to students and future academic individuals as base
of the society overall development. Of course, this
production (knowledge as output) requires certain
investments of resources (teachers, equipment,
conditions), that can be treated as input. In such manner,
measuring the output/input ratio, using specific LP
technique known as Data Envelopment Analysis can give
perspective of efficiency of the study process.
The application includes precise input/output model
represented in all courses within the analyzed study
program that collect all real input resources and all real
output indicators done by complex survey. In such an
environment, the result is represented in efficient and nonefficient
courses within the study program. Through a
comprehensive review of the results, discussion is done for
the reasons of inefficiency. In addition, using DEA
perception, concrete guidelines are proposed for
management in order to optimize and increase efficiency
to the non-efficient detected courses.
