The analysis is followed by a SWOT analysis, which defined strengths and weaknesses, threats and opportunities related to academic management evaluation under ARACIS and EIP. The next step of the analysis realizes a forecast of the number of new students in Danubius University, using dedicated software, SPSS19. The main conclusion of the paper is that quality represents a main objective and a result of all activities in Danubius University.
