Hameed, Very true. Have you ever posed as a prospective student and tried to gather information about your competition? I have, and so have many others, but actually, it's hard to get information that is of any value that way. When you are introducing a new program, of course you need to justify (to accrediting bodies and the state) why that program is necessary. Demographic data, demonstrated job need, etc are all factors you probably already take into consideration However, sometimes a survey of local employers is a good gauge of the market as well.
