Abstract: Most higher education institutions offer general guidelines and course information in regards to specific majors and future careers. However, one of the main problems faced by students is making optimal decisions in relation to their academic progress and status based on formal information available to them. In this context, this research proposes a decision support system that incorporates qualitative information, including use of the experiences of previous students in the recommendation process.

Keywords: data mining; decision support system; recommendation system; sequence data mining; qualitative information.
