Organization/Administration.
Chaffee, Ellen Earle
Patterns that emerged from reviewing 26 syllabi for courses on organization and administration in higher education are discussed, and six sample syllabi are presented. The syllabi focused more on organization than administration. Of the 26 syllabi, 19 dealt with organization and administration generally; 5 with administration in a specific context; and 2 were business management courses recommended for higher education students. The 19 general courses encompassed 30 subtopics. The five courses dealing with special topics in organization and administration focused on human relations, academic affairs administration, personnel administration, academic department administration, and the organization and administration of professional schools. Brief overviews and sample syllabi are provided for the following courses/schools: Organizational Theory I and II, New York University; Higher and Postsecondary Institutions as Complex Organizations, University of Michigan; Higher Education Administration and Organization, University of Vermont; the Administration of Academic Affairs in Higher Education, Ohio State University; Administrative Behavior, Leadership, and Personnel in Colleges and Universities, University of Michigan; and Case Studies in Administration Behavior in Higher Education, University of Michigan. A list of members of the course syllabi network is included. (SW)
