A researcher made questionnaire resulted from qualitative section in Likert spectrum was developed for getting needed information. Validity (face, content, construct validity) was used for investigating quality and accuracy of questionnaire. Cronbach Alpha (0/94) was used for measuring reliability. At final, validity and reliability were confirmed. The results of second - order confirmatory factor analysis showed that the eight factors have a sufficient factor load to predict the cultural policy making evaluation model for higher education institutions. In order to test the model and check the data, 313 questionnaires were analyzed. The results of the second-order factor analysis showed that the eight factors have sufficient factor loading to predict the pattern of cultural policy evaluation of higher education institutions. So, 3 standards, along with 8 factors, 19 criteria and 42 indicators can form localized model for evaluation of cultural policy making and gather useful results for identification, amendment, improvement and promotion.
