they thought were important quality requirements in higher education, the degree of their importance and how
they evaluated their own institutions with respect to the quality requirements. The purpose of this study is to determine
the student requirements regarding the quality of the undergraduate programs of Tourism Management
and Finance in Akhmet Yassawi University and to analyze the student satisfaction and dissatisfaction and their
majority roles in determining and improving the quality of the programs. To achieve this object, firstly Kano’s
Survey was applied to 116 students and the student requirements relating to the education were uncovered by

requirements divided into four categories: must-be, one-dimensional, attractive and indifferent. Finally, the
values of satisfaction and dissatisfaction were calculated and the roles of these requirements in increasing and
decreasing student satisfaction and dissatisfaction were identified clearly
