University accreditation is one of the main indicators to assess the quality of universities in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the effect of the ratio of lecturers to students and the percentage of lecturers who have a doctoral degree on university accreditation in 2023. Using quantitative methods based on cross-sectional data from 20 universities (10 accredited A and 10 accredited B), this study applies multiple linear regression models to analyze the relationship. The results show that the lecturer-student ratio has no significant influence on university accreditation. On the other hand, the percentage of lecturers with doctoral degrees tends to have a significant influence at the 90% confidence level but is not significant at the 95% confidence level. This result breaks the common assumption that these two factors are the main determinants of accreditation. Instead, other factors such as institutional management, funding allocation, and student involvement in research may have a greater role in determining university accreditation. This research contributes by bringing to light variables that are rarely discussed in the context of A and B-accredited universities. It also recommends a more holistic approach to improving the quality of accreditation. Universities are advised to focus on improving the quality of human resources, good institutional management, and optimizing resource utilization. The results of this study are expected to be a strategic guide for universities and policymakers in designing more effective higher education quality improvement policies
