Online Application for Permission to Enroll in Portfolio
The comprehensive exam is only available to M.S.Ed. students and students in the Master of Educational Technology program (M.E.T.) admitted prior to Fall 2008.
Comprehensive exams are taken in the last semester of study, AFTER all core courses are complete. Students must be enrolled in at least one elective course during this semester. There are no credits associated with comprehensive exams.
NOTE: Students enrolled in one or more core courses during their final semester will have to wait to take their comps in the following semester. They must then enroll and pay for 1 credit of EDTECH 600, because Boise State requires students to be enrolled in the semester in which they are graduated. Plan your program of studies early to avoid the extra cost and delay!
