On the Study of Higher Education in CanadianUniversitiest\n\nMICHAEL L.SKOLNIK*  \n## Abstract\n\nAlthough research on Canadian higher education has advanced considerablyover the past few decades,the opportunities for university level study of highereducation in Canada are still quite limited.Only four universities offer highereducation programs;only one has a higher education department;and only ahandful of other institutions offer even a course in higher education.Thenumber of students enrolled in higher education programs in Canada is about200,compared to about 6,000 in the United States;the number of faculty about15 compared to 700 in the U.S.  \nMoreover,while American higher education journals have,since the early1970's,regularly featured articles about university higher education programs,there has not been a single article on this subject in The Canadian Journal ofHigher Education.This paper attempts to fill some of that gap by providingsome basic information about the study of higher education in Canadianuniversities and by examining the role of these programs in the overalldevelopment of higher education research and the possible reasons for the verylimited scale of such programs in Canada.  \nThe author's conclusion is that the factor which has most limited thedevelopment of higher education studies in Canadian universities is neitherinsufficient student demand nor limited employment opportunities of graduates,but reluctance of Canadian universities to allocate resources for this area ofstudy.This reluctance is attributed to the combination of the low prestige of  \n*Professor,Higher Education Group,Ontario Institute for Studies in Education  \n↑An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of theCanadian Society for

Canada ait fait desprogres considérables au cours des dernieres décennies,les occasions demener des études sur I'enseignement supérieur au Canada,au niveauuniversitaire,sont encore tres limitees.En effet quatre universités seulementoffrent des programmes denseignement supérieur;une seule d'entre elles a undépartement d'enseignement supérieur;et un tres petit nombre d'autresétablissements offrent un cours denseignement supérieur.Au Canada,on necompte que 200 étudiants environ,alors qu'aux Etats-Unis,ce chiffre atteintpresque 6000 inscriptions.D'autre part,on ne compte qu'environ 15 membresdu corps professoral comparativement à700 membres aux Etats-Unis.  \nDe plus,alors que les revues américaines sur I'enseignement supérieur ont,depuis le début des années 70,fait régulierement paraitre des articles sur lesprogrammes d'enseignement supérieuràI'université,la revue Sociétécanadienne pour I'étude de I'enseignement supérieur/The Canadian Journal ofHigher Education n'a publié aucun article sur ce sujet.Le présent article tentedonc de combler cette lacune en donnant quelques informations de base surI'étude de I'enseignement supérieur en milieu universitaire canadien,et
