<![CDATA[Abstract: The development of information technology has brought significant transformation in the field of education, particularly in academic decision-making. This study aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) based on the PROMETHEE method (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) to assist prospective students in objectively and systematically selecting the best university in Asahan Regency. The main issue addressed is the lack of integrated information regarding the strengths of each educational institution, as well as the absence of a recommendation system that considers various important criteria such as accreditation, facilities, tuition fees, achievements, and study programs. This research uses a quantitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The implementation results of the PROMETHEE method show that Royal University achieved the highest ranking, followed by Asahan University and STIKES As Syifa Kisaran. This method has proven effective in producing rational and transparent campus rankings based on multi-criteria preferences. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for prospective students and educational institutions in improving the quality and competitiveness of higher education in the Asahan region. Keywords: decision support system promethea; campus selection; multi-criteria; asahan.
