Abstract: Education sector in Indonesia has been facing great challenge, indicated by the country's very low position in the ranking of workforce competitiveness among nations in the world. The Department of Education has established the National Accreditation Body (abbreviated as BAN) as one of the way to improve the quality of both outcome and process of higher education in Indonesia. BAN has established a portefolio rating model, specifying eight key components, i.e., Description of the vision, mission, and objectives of the program; Program management; Curriculum and learning process; Human resource and its development; Students and their guidance; Facility and its development; Evaluation system; and Financing. BAN is committed to develop a system which shifts from a mostly input based normative evaluation system to a more descriptive system that requires self-evaluation by the administrators of each program. A rating model for graduate schools in Indonesia is proposed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The model uses the AHP absolute measurement approach, starting with the goal at the top level of the hierarchy and the eight components at the second level. Performance indicators for each of the eight components will be identified and located under their respected component, followed by the time frame of past performance, current activities, and future plans. A set of intensity ratings is located at the bottom of the hierarchy. While definition of intensity ratings for each indicator is instrumental in this absolute measurement system, only partial definitions can be included here.
