Master’s in Educational Technology

This nationally accredited program prepares students to create resources for teaching and learning through diverse media as well as integrate technology into educational environments. Educational Technology (ETEC)

• provides theoretical knowledge and scientific principles that can be applied to problems that arise in a social context.
• prepares individuals to devise effective messages, teams, materials, devices, techniques, and settings.
• involves the study of theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning.

Practitioners in educational technology, whether they are teachers, trainers, developers, administrators, or support personnel, seek innovative and effective ways of organizing the teaching and learning process through the best possible application of technological developments.
 
The program places emphasis on applications of technology in educational settings rather than simple technical skills. Individuals from diverse backgrounds can immediately apply what they learn to their particular context. Upon graduation, these new professionals will have a clearer vision of how they can prepare learners for the future.
 
ETEC graduates are found in many learning environments including K-12 and higher education, government, business, industry, and health occupations.
