Abstract
This paper shows the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the efficiency of 20 colleges of Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University (PSAU). The input variables used in this study are the enrolled students and the teaching staff. The output variables are number of graduates and number of researches. In this study, the Basic Radial Models (Multiplier Forms) output oriented with Constant Returns to scale(CRS), Variable Returns to scale(VRS), Increasing Returns to scale(IRS) and Decreasing Returns to scale(DRS) are used to estimate the efficiency of colleges. The DEA tool assists the academics and administrators to identify the inefficient measures and take the actions for improvement.
