In 1997, the evening adult education program at Bresgin University experienced a large decrease in enrollment by hotel and restaurant professionals—formerly a large segment of the program’s students. The administration believes the drop is probably due to an increase in tuition for those courses that receive degree credit, since the program had previously charged the same tuition for credit and non-credit courses.
Which of the following, if feasible, offers the best prospects for alleviating the decrease in enrollments for the evening adult education program, if the administration is correct?
A. Establish job-placement programs for students in courses relevant to hotel and restaurant professionals.
B. Conduct a publicity campaign to educate hotel and restaurant professionals on the benefits of adult education.
C. Offer credit courses in subjects relevant to hotel and restaurant professionals at the same price charged for non-credit courses.
D. Eliminate the disparity in the cost between credit and non-credit courses by increasing the price of the non-credit courses.
E. Establish a degree program made up entirely of credit courses from the evening adult education program.

In 1997, the evening adult education program at Bresgin University faced a problem of enrolment decrease by hotel and restaurant professionals, who are the major chunk in the program.
The reason for drop as believed by the administration was : increase in tuition fee for the credit based courses, as evening adult education programmes on hotel and restaurant was a credit based course.
Prior to that, the tuition fee was same for both credit and non credit courses.
We need to find an option that alleviates the decrease in enrolment for the evening adult education programme.
A. Establish job-placement programs for students in courses relevant to hotel and restaurant professionals.
This seems a plausible solution. But, it doesn’t guarantee an increase or even a status quo in the enrolment rate. Hence, might not be a strong supporting argument. Wrong.
B. Conduct a publicity campaign to educate hotel and restaurant professionals on the benefits of adult education.
This option mentions the need for sensitisation provided to public on benefits of adult education. The problem is not decreasing overall enrolment at the university. But, to a certain group alone. Moreover, the segment formed a larger chunk in the university prior to tuition fee increase. So, this option is not a strengthening factor. Hence, wrong.
C. Offer credit courses in subjects relevant to hotel and restaurant professionals at the same price charged for non-credit courses.
This exactly addresses the problem of tuition fee increase and subsequent drop in enrolment rates. If credit courses are charged at the same price for non credit courses, then the increase in fee is eliminated. Thus, providing a positive environment for enrolment. Correct answer.
D. Eliminate the disparity in the cost between credit and non-credit courses by increasing the price of the non-credit courses.
This option flips the coin to its disadvantage. Increasing the fee for all non credit courses, to bring equality in pricing, might show that the university is non partisan in this regard. But, this cannot address the issue of decrease in enrolment after the tuition fee increase. The students didn’t say the fee rise as a sign of partiality. Hence, wrong.
E. Establish a degree program made up entirely of credit courses from the evening adult education program.
This option proposes a futuristic plan, which would enhance the revenue for the university, as a wholly credit based system of courses might induce the university to yield more revenue (post tuition fee hike). Hence, Wrong.

KAPLAN OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
Correct Choice: (C)
If the school is losing hotel and restaurant students because the price was raised for degree-credit courses, one solution, as outlined by (C), is to simply lower the price for those course that hotel and restaurant professionals are likely to take.
Choices (A), (B), and (E) all might make classes more attractive for the target audience, but none of these choices address the main problem—the increased price.
Choice (D) might make the non-credit courses less attractive, but it won’t make the credit courses any more attractive.
