Abstract

The graduate profile is a role that can be performed by graduates in the field of expertise or work fields after completing study in the study program. The graduate profile is also a very important component that becomes the identity of a study program so that a study program with the same name can be distinguished from the specified graduate profile. This study uses a Decision Support System (DSS) which will be obtained using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method for drawing conclusions from the data that has been analyzed. The study used five stages, namely problem analysis, literature review, data collection, criteria determination, criteria and alternatives weighting, SAW method implementation, and the last stage of drawing conclusions. The result is that the graduate profile will be more effective if using DSS calculation analysis and drawing conclusions using the SAW method. This can be seen from the results of the analysis of one student who obtained a high match value on the criteria A1 (Intelligent System Developer).
