Newly Designed Doctoral Program

The David O. McKay School of Education at BYU will initiate a newly designed doctoral degree program Fall Semester titled, Educational Inquiry, Measurement, and Evaluation (EIME).

To design this doctoral degree, administrators merged some of the concepts from two former doctoral programs into one interdepartmental PhD 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. Because it is inter-departmental, the David O. McKay School of Education Deans Office will directly administer EIME with Dr. Richard Sudweeks directing the work of the program.

Through their coursework, students will develop a deep conceptual understanding of disciplined inquiry. In addition, EIME is designed to provide students with a balance between depth and breadth and between theory and practice. Persons interested in participating in the September 2008 cohort must submit application materials by May 15, 2008.
