Although the decision with regard to the choice of electives in general education courses is an important one for university students, there have been few studies that have discussed the decision criteria involved in such cases. To investigate students' tendencies when faced with such choices, we first enumerated seven decision criteria and then, using the paired comparison method, quantified the emphasis that was placed on them by the new students at Osaka university (n = 136). Our findings illustrated that criteria such as “interesting” and “ easy to get a course credit” tend to wield more influence on students than “good teacher” and “to fill the blanks in the schedule”. Next, we analyzed the correlation between such magnitudes of emphasis and students' satisfaction with their electives at large, and revealed that the criterion “interesting” has a positive correlation with satisfaction (r= .20). We were thus able to point to the importance of students' interest in favor of an elective while making their choices and discussed the point in the context of faculty development.
