Claudia Achilles

“I signed up for the [learning strategy] lab with Dr. Martinez. We got to work with Humentum, a global nonprofit, and evaluate courses. You conduct research, assess and discuss scholarly articles and then present your findings. And for me, that’s a perfect way to apply your learning outside the classroom.”

- Claudia Achilles

Nahari Leija

“Although I considered many universities, I chose Boise State because the Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning courses focus on adult learning and completing real workplace projects for real clients. I was offered a research assistantship in my first year, which I was really excited to accept in my very first semester of study!”

- Nahari Leija

“The research and service-learning-based coursework gave me tools and experiences that I could apply immediately in my career, and because of this, I was promoted to the learning and development manager for my company. The flexibility of the online format has enabled me to complete the program in two short years, during a global pandemic, while working a full-time professional job, and helping to raise a family.”
