Instructional Technology - Instructional Technology Track (M.S.)
In an effort to assist teachers and local school systems in the Northeastern area of Maryland, Towson University offers the Master of Science (M.S.) in Instructional Technology. This program is an applied professional program that helps educate leaders in educational computing and media. The program is hands-on and practical with a considerable focus of most courses being inventive and authentic learning projects. The Educational Technology track is designed for those who wish to integrate technology into classroom teaching or to coordinate the planning and integration of educational technologies at the school, district, or state level.
A majority of the graduate students in the Instructional Technology program are full-time working professionals who take classes in the late afternoon or early evening and at a gradual pace.. While a number of courses in this program of study are offered at the HEAT Center, not all are. Students are advised to also consider taking classes on Towson University’s main campus where more electives and schedule options are available. The campus is less than 35 miles from HECC at HEAT. A number of the required and elective courses are also offered in the online format.

Tuition and Reimbursement

The University fees for the HEAT location are assessed at a reduced rate based on its distance from the main campus. This bill must be paid by the due date. Unpaid bills will be assessed late fees and after 90 days will be sent to a collection agency.
Each school system has a different reimbursement policy or procedure based on negotiated agreements with its unions. You may seek reimbursement directly from your school system upon completion of each course in the program. Please note the following:
-
Your school system will not pay for your tuition if you receive a grade that does not meet your school system’s reimbursement requirements, if you receive a grade of I (incomplete), or if you receive grade of FX. Instead, you will be solely responsible for the tuition and fees.
-
Your school system will not pay your tuition if you exceed their reimbursable credit limit. If you exceed your school system’s reimbursable credit limit, you are solely responsible for the tuition and fees
-
Tuition and fees are subject to increase.
