Abstract
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa pengaruh kualitas jasa terhadap kepuasan dan loyalitas mahasiswa serta citra Perguruan Tinggi. Data diperoleh dengan cara menyebarkan kuisioner kepada 120 responden yaitu mahasiswa Universitas Trisakti. Data yang digunakan adalah data cross-sectional dan menggunakan purposive sampling sebagai metode pegambilan sampel. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Hasil pengujian hipotesa menunjukkan bahwa aspek akademis, aspek non akademis dan reputasi berpengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan mahasiswa, sedangkan aspek program dan akses tidak mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan mahasiswa. Kemudian kepuasan mahasiswa juga mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap citra perguruan tinggi sementara kepuasan mahasiswa dan citra ternyata tidak mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap loyalitas mahasiswa. Disarankan bagi Universitas Trisakti untuk memperkuat reputasi yang merupakan faktor terpenting dalam mempengaruhi kepuasan mahasiswa, serta mengembangkan strategi hubungan pemasaran agar dapat meningkatkan loyalitas mahasiswa. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya disarankan mengevaluasi penetapan harga (price fairness) dalam mencapai kepuasan dan loyalitas mahasiswa.
