Perhaps there is an underlying assumption that colleges make rational decisions. I'm not sure that's a good assumption.

In my own case (me, personally), back in 1994, I took a computer science course in preparation for admission to the MSc program. It was a course that the department had specified, so that was fine. Made an A, all was well.

The course lineup was altered, and a different course that covered the same material was offered. And I was compelled to take it. So I smiled (a rather annoying smirk, actually), rolled my eyes Heavenward, and took it. It was an easy A - a fact I took pains to remind others of. (Evil grin).

So...same college...same department...same academic year...and I didn't get to apply the course they specified to the entry program.

Do colleges try various things to increase revenue? My gracious no! They would never do that!*
