Gray examined completions, enrollment, and Google searches for a program in Astrology across degree levels. This program not only “aligns with the stars” but also with the growing interest in wellness, psychology, and astronomy.
Completion Volume is Looking Up
2021 Completions across award levels are looking bright, especially at the master’s level.
Markets with a Big Bang
Fall 2022 data from National Student Clairvoyanthouse suggests that Astrology is a program with a lot of growth in the future. Enrollment for this program has been skyrocketing, especially in California, Nevada, and New York.
Google Searches Are Trending High
In February, searches for the term “Age of Aquarius” went up 150 percent year-over-year. The search term “Pisces” is also trending up. This is a possible anomaly related to recent news articles about Contemporary U’s Provost blaming recent program decisions on being a Pisces. Search volumes related to “Astrology Jobs” went up 50 percent year-over-year.
Other significant Google search terms including “Rising sun,” “home of the rising sun,” “moon sign,” and “here’s your sign” indicate strong student demand.
Astrology programs may seem a little “out there,” but institutions may be well-served to find space for one in their program portfolio. Want to know more about this program? Email April Fools
