Nine syllabi for courses on research and evaluation in higher education are reviewed. The syllabi fall into four areas: general research design and methods, program evaluation, naturalistic inquiry, and institutional self-study. A course on research design and methods at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, focuses on three basic modes of inquiry and requires students to develop a research proposal using one of the inquiry modes. A University of Arizona course provides students experience with research methods and data collection and allows them to begin formative work on a dissertation proposal. A Rutgers University course describes the sources of control and models for evaluation, self-regulation, accreditation, and institutional licensing processes. Also considered are research design and methods courses at Ohio State University and the University of Michigan; a team-taught research methods course at Columbia University; a research methods course at Pennsylvania State University; a course in naturalistic inquiry in educational administration; two courses in educational program evaluation at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; and a course on institutional research and planning at the University of Michigan. Texts used in the courses are identified. A list of members of the course syllabi network is included. (SW)
