The Fischler School of Education and Human Services (FSEHS) continues to expand in Latin America. This time, FSEHS is meeting the educational needs in Colombia with a new Doctoral Cohort from Universidad Nacional Abierta a Distancia (UNAD-National Open Distance University).

The members of this doctoral cohort -- deans, professors and the rector of this university in Colombia -- attended doctoral studies orientation on Sept 7 and 8, and also participated in their first face-to-face sessions for their courses. These academic professionals are pursuing a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) with a concentration on instructional technology and distance education. This is a unique program that is taught in Spanish using the latest developments in distance education delivery that combines face-to-face and online methodologies.
