Open House in Nampa Oct. 14 Showcases Doctoral Program in Education

An open house for teachers, administrators and others interested in learning more about Boise State University’s doctor of education program is planned for,  6 - 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Room 207A at the Canyon County Center, 2407 Caldwell Blvd., in Nampa. Boise State professors, current doctoral students and recent graduates will be on hand to discuss the doctor of education (Ed.D.) in curriculum and instruction offered through Boise State’s College of Education. Informational materials will also be available, and refreshments will be served. “We’re inviting anyone who’d like to learn more about the doctoral program to attend this open house,” said Teresa Delgadillo Harrison, graduate programs coordinator in the College of Education. “We planned this event at the Canyon County Center in order to provide a convenient location for prospective students who live or work in the Nampa/Caldwell/Kuna area.” Boise State’s doctoral program in curriculum and instruction is designed to develop graduates who will be effective leaders in educational improvement. Doctoral students are admitted in small groups and work closely together during their first summer experience and their first year in the program. Components of the program include curriculum and instruction, school improvement, applied research, student-selected cognate study and a dissertation. The doctoral program is supported by faculty members in the College of Education.
