If a major at a college are filled to capacity, what is preferable for the college to do?

[GMTplus7]

Popularity of a major is not a good criteria to use for making decisions about growth of a department. The size of the department should be based on a consideration of a range of factors, some of which include the societal need-not student interest.

Nursing and engineering are not the flavor-of-the-day. These bread-and-butter majors are not going to go away. If they are DEPENDABLY oversubscribed decade after decade, then the school should resize the departments.
