EDHE 7830 - Institutional Research and Planning in Higher Education

Provides students with an overview of the central issues, methods, and resources applicable to the field of Institutional Research (IR). Particular attention will be given to the diversity of institutional settings and the context within which institutional researchers practice, including small and large campuses, public and private colleges and universities, system offices, and state and federal level agencies. There are numerous definitions of Institutional Research that highlight this diversity of practice, but we will focus on IR as the study of information gathering and analysis in institutions of higher education for decision-making activities and support concerning short-term and long-range planning and improvement.
