Abstract: Learning achievement is one of the important higher education issues deserving attention. What are determinants on learning achievement? Does the time management eterminant (use of internet, part time job) matter? Or if not, what determinants make sense? The aim of this paper is to study the determinants for learning achievement from the undergraduate students' perspectives by applying the multiple-criteria-decision-making (MCDM) model. According to the results, among the six dimensions, 'learning motivation'; is the key dimension, 'learning attitude' ranks second, 'time management' ranks third, while 'learning resources' counts the least on learning achievement. The results provide insights for students, teachers, and school administrators.
