Abstract	In view of the importance of taking student preferences into account while establishing educational practices, this study explores which faculty member characteristic fourth year students mostly prefer in a higher education institution. A faculty member characteristics form that includes ten characteristics was administered to 419 fourth year teacher trainees. Data gathered was scaled from a complete data matrix with Thurstone's law of comparative judgment case V. equation. The findings of the study show that show that the faculty member characteristic that the students prioritized is "having good interpersonal relations". This characteristic is followed by "occupational experience", "pedagogical knowledge", "support to social activities", "generosity in grading", "taste of humor", "status", "age", "physical appearance", and "gender". As it generates an awareness of student preferences in relation to faculty member characteristics, the study is noteworthy for higher education faculty who are charged with teaching. (As Provided).
