Metrics 19.1 Question Help Colleges and universities in Country A offering graduate degrees enjoyed double-digit growth for nearly a decade, particularly from applicants of Country B. But applications from these students declined 5 percent for the last academic year, dropping the overall graduate-school application growth rate from foreign students to just 1 percent. This has schools that offer business, engineering, life sciences, and physical and earth sciences graduate degrees wondering how they will fill their classrooms. A bright spot is applications from Country C, which increased 24 percent because of a push by the its government to boost advanced degrees from Country A schools. Many schools in Country A are wondering if this market is worthy of more marketing efforts to replace the lost applicants from Country B. Develop a market potential estimation of this market.

Among the remaining 25-34 year old age group 59% can be considered as potential students because they completed at least upper secondary education.
