Competitive Structure of Selected College Student Markets.

Tierney, Michael L.

College and University, v59 n3 p229-44 Spr 1984

Analysis of the joint submission of Scholastic Aptitude Test scores by 10,704 high school seniors shows that relatively few colleges compete with each other in local student markets. This suggests that state and institutional policies for adapting to demographically induced enrollment declines will be severely constrained by the competitive structure of these markets. (MSE)
