The search committee, chaired by Engineering Dean Ross Corotis, will make its final recommendations on the position following the campus visits. The recommendation goes to Phil DiStefano, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Five finalists for the position were named last April but the search was later reopened.
Interim Dean Lorrie Shepard has led the School of Education since DiStefano left the post in September 1996. He had been dean since 1986.
