Boise State University began offering online masters in Ed Tech for educators and trainers more than a decade ago. This week, the research university announced it will expand its online graduate school of education offerings to include a new online doctoral program, an Ed.D. in Educational Technology.

The Idaho State Board of Education approved the new distance doctoral degree last week after reviewing the university's mission to encourage greater research and application development for use as emerging educational technologies.


The Doctor of Education in Educational Technology (Ed.D.) program was developed at Boise State University in the summer to fall of 2011. The new degree program is built on the foundation of a highly successful online masters degree program (M.S.) with a research thesis option that was launched at Boise more than a decade ago.
