Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of social media promotion, university image, and word-of-mouth on student enrollment interest at Universitas Potensi Utama. The study employs a quantitative approach with 100 respondents selected using a non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS version 25. The results indicate that social media promotion has a positive and significant effect on enrollment interest (t = 9.796; significance = 0.000). University image has a positive but non-significant effect (t = 1.765; significance = 0.081). Word-of-mouth has a positive and significant effect (t = 4.580; significance = 0.000). Simultaneously, social media promotion, university image, and word-of-mouth have a positive and significant effect on enrollment interest (F = 38.668; significance = 0.000). The Adjusted R-Square value of 0.547 indicates that these three variables explain 54.7% of the variation in enrollment interest. Keyword: University Image; Enrollment Interest; Social Media Promotion; Word of Mouth.   Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh promosi media sosial, citra universitas, dan word of mouth terhadap minat pendaftaran mahasiswa di Universitas Potensi Utama.
