Constructs in this study is the construct of cost, image, motivation, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The fourth construct each measured by four indicators. The results showedthatconstruct ofcostswiththe largestcontributionis indicatorX₃ (fee in accordance with the quality of education offered) of 0,619. Then to construct of image with an indicator variable X₈ (courses demand by prospective students) provide the largest contribution of 0.969. Motivation construct gives the greatest contribution with indicator X₁₀ (hope easy to get a job) amounted to 0,972. Latent constructs of socioeconomic backgrounds greatest contribution is indicator X₁₅ (job / profession parents influenced me in choosing a course of study) of 0.684.
