Program Highlights
Our program is grounded in the identification, evaluation, and application of research-based education practices. In your core classes, you will develop a vision for the future of education through an analysis of the issues and changes in both education and technology; apply principles of cognitive science; use metrics to measure student, programmatic and institutional achievement; and identify and use relevant technology in the service of better learning. Additionally, each student identifies an area of concentration and course work from the following: Curriculum and Instruction; Educational Technology; Learning Design and Technology; Online Teaching; or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
Technology is a critical component of this program, and you will create your Personal Learning Environment to compile and share what you learn in a digital portfolio. Studies for your master’s degree in education conclude with a three-credit capstone in which you will complete an action-research project aimed at solving a real-world problem of practice.
