Undergraduate teaching audit and evaluation (UTAE) is a new type of evaluation pattern, which is extremely important for a university to improve its quality assurance system and enhance teaching quality. Selecting an optimal university for benchmarking through UTAE to promote the quality of teaching can be regarded as a complex multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Furthermore, in the process of UTAE, experts' evaluations over the teaching quality of universities are often imprecise and fuzzy due to the subjective nature of human thinking. In this paper, we propose a new UTAE approach based onq-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and the multiattribute border approximation area comparison (MABAC) method for evaluating and selecting the best university for benchmarking. The introduced method deals with the linguistic assessments given by experts by usingq-ROFSs, assigns the weights of audit elements based on the indifference threshold-based attribute ratio analysis method, and acquires the ranking of universities with an extended MABAC method. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposedq-rung orthopair fuzzy MABAC method is demonstrated through a realistic UTAE example. Results show that the UTAE method being proposed is valid and practical for UTAE.
