Abstract
This paper describes a procedure for developing new programs at postsecondary institutions. The procedure consists of eight interacting stages: (1) definition of institutional mission and service area, (2) idea generation, (3) idea screening, (4) concept development, (5) concept testing, (6) costing, (7) estimation of program demand, and (8) program evaluation. The paper also reviews a pilot test of the procedure and draws some conclusions about the procedure's viability.Keywords
