  9. Challenges • Strong competition from MSU and UC Davis for the same cohort of applicants • Reduced number of initial & complete applications due to other similar programs with higher rankings • Fewer enrolled students due to our high number of denials in our more competitive departments Opportunities • Great way to recruit high quality PhD students if your goal is to increase number of doctoral students and research capacity • Reduce burden on GSSP and limited departmental funds since students are self-paying at the master’s level • Students are ready for doctoral research (English ability, research skills, familiarity with campus, etc) • Need to add more programs on the list to attract more applications
