Abstract
This chapter presents an AHP (Analytic hierarchy Process)-based method for multi-criteria decision-making problem involving college selection. The proposed method is evaluated on a sample dataset collected from U. S. news dataset. The U. S. dataset consists of ratings on various aspects of many different colleges from multiple users. We have used eight criteria and eight colleges. The method builds an analytic hierarchy structure of multiple criteria and alternatives to ease the decision-making process. The ranking of each college is based on the overall score considering multiple criteria. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the use of AHP in college selection process.
