Instructional Design and Technology

Preparing professional educators for leadership, development, and performance improvement in organizations.

Ed. D. in Instructional Design and Technology (ID&T) professionals facilitate learning and performance through the systematic planning, creation, and assessment of technological solutions in a broad range of instructional settings and environments. M.Ed.-ID&T candidates take courses emphasizing instructional technology and design principles, theories, methods, and applications. As an ID&T professional, you will design individualized programs for school and corporate audiences: K-12 face-to-face, blended, and online environments; post-secondary and higher education; and business/industry entities in support of training and consulting endeavors. 

The Doctor of Philosophy in Instructional Design is in hiatus through 2019-20. For a doctoral program in Instructional Design and Technology, see the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, Instructional Design and Technology Emphasis through the department of School Psychology and Educational Leadership.
