| The Bureau | Bureau of Educational Research and Field Services For many years the Department has provided the resources of the Bureau of Educational Research and Field Service to school districts and policy makers in Nebraska. In times of expansion, the work of the Bureau was directed toward facilities planning. In times of declining enrollment, a significant amount of work has been directed at helping school districts plan for re-organization. Over the years members of the Bureau have also assisted state policy makers by carrying out studies aimed at particular educational policy issues. For information about the services of the Bureau, please contact Dr. Don Uerling at duerling1@unl.edu or 472-0970. |
| The Center | The Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education The Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education was established by action of the University of Nebraska Board Of Regents in October1993. The program was developed on the belief that a Center would facilitate the program’s acquisition of national visibility, provide the vehicle needed for securing external monetary funding, and strengthen the doctoral program in Educational Leadership and Higher Education in the Department of Educational Administration. The thrust of the Center is on institutional and academic leadership and addresses the following goals and accompanying activities: conducting research related to academic leadership, faculty development and trends in higher education; providing practicum and internship opportunities for students enrolled in the department’s programs in higher education; conducting seminars, conferences, workshops, and other activities aimed at improving the knowledge and skills of academic leaders and faculty; conducting and disseminating scholarly activities and developing a network of scholars, administrators, and business leaders focusing on current and emerging global issues in higher and postsecondary education; and promoting and enhancing the on-line doctoral program in Educational Leadership and Higher Education. jihrig1@unl.edu or 402-472-0943 |
