The Dynamic Market for Short-Cycle Higher Education Programs
Overview & Synopsis
We explore the dynamics of short-cycle higher education programs (SCPs) in Colombia and focus on the responsiveness of SCP supply to local economic activity and the presence of competitors. Using data from 2003 to 2019, we document a high turnover of SCPs compared to bachelor’s programs. Institutions adjust their offerings by opening and closing programs; according to our estimates, SCP opening and closing in private institutions is more responsive to local economic activity than in public institutions. Institutions often open and close programs simultaneously, possibly due to capacity constraints, and seem to compete in segmented markets.
