McKay School of Education at
BYU to Offer New Doctoral Program
PROVO, Utah — The David O. McKay
School of Education at Brigham Young University will initiate a
newly designed doctoral degree program beginning fall semester 2008
titled Educational Inquiry, Measurement and Evaluation (EIME).
To create this doctoral degree, administrators
merged some of the concepts from two former doctoral programs into
one interdepartmental program focused on educational inquiry. "This
refocus ensures that McKay School graduates are prepared to make
significant contributions to solving persistent and challenging
educational issues faced by the state, nation and world," said
program coordinator Richard Sudweeks of the instructional psychology
faculty.
Through their coursework, students
will develop a conceptual understanding of disciplined inquiry.
In addition, an EIME degree will provide students with a balance
between depth and breadth and between theory and practice, according
to Sudweeks.
Because it is interdepartmental, the
McKay School Dean's Office will directly administer the EIME doctorate.
Those interested in participating in
the September 2008 cohort must submit application materials by May
30. For application forms and information, visit www.byu.edu/gradstudies
or contact Richard Sudweeks at 801/422-7078.
