The method used in this study uses a quantitative method with an explanatory research design, which means explaining the relationship of each variable in selecting the sample using probability sampling with a random sampling approach. The analytical tool used is to use a validity test and a reliability test where the instrument is declared valid if r count r table, while it is declared reliable if the Cronbach alpha value is 0.60. hypothesis testing using techniques analysis SEM (structural equation modelling) or AMOS (analysis of moment structure). The steps taken in the SEM analysis are by developing a model based on concepts and theories, construct-path chart, Conversion of a path diagram to a structural model, elect matrix input, Solution standard model, and goodness evaluation of fit index and Interpretation and modification. The results of hypothesis testing in this study indicate that the three hypotheses have a significant effect, and the promotion variable is able to mediate the study program accreditation variable on decision-making.
