The main purpose of this study is to assess the opinions that parents have of higher education in Taiwan, and further help universities in Taiwan make pertinent administrative changes. This study collected data and analyzed findings from previous studies on higher education; subsequently, the results of the analysis generated a scalogram to illustrate overall quality of institutions of higher education in Taiwan. Three major dimensions of quality were identified: curriculum and teaching, learning support and career counseling, each of which included sub-categories. The research method adopted in this study was to test the validity and reliability of the scalogram by organizing focus groups and performing confirmatory factor analysis. The second step involved interviewing 857 parents to evaluate how they perceived higher education, using Kano’s two-dimensional quality model and the importance-satisfaction analysis model. The analysis of the parents’ opinions revealed that universities should enhance their programs and quality control for extracurricular activities, (students’) coursework as well as the teaching skills of faculty members; reinforce, evaluate, and adjust career counseling vis-à-vis employment and studies; and assess financial assistance policies for students and investment returns on student affairs. Lastly, this study offers suggestions for assessing and enhancing the quality of higher education in Taiwan.
