The population includes all students in academic year 2008-9 among whom 400 ones were selected from 10 universities as a sample. The students' value hierarchies were examined using Alpourt 45- item questionnaire(A.V.L). Descriptive and t-inferential statistics and multivariate variance analysis were applied on the collected data. Overall findings showed that the highest value for the students was the economic one, followed by non-practical, artistic, political, social and religious values. Also there was no significant difference among the students' hierarchies of value in terms of gender, degree programs and field of study.
