Our program is intended for students who seek advanced degrees in order to strengthen their skills and knowledge base in technology and digital learning. Graduates serve as leaders in higher education, business and PreK-12 public schools, as well as in remote learning and professional development. The program focuses on the development of pedagogical expertise and understanding about how to integrate digital learning tools to meet the present and future needs of instruction across the educational spectrum.

In the 2016 Educational Technology Plan, the United States Department of Education reiterated the most important aspects of the field of educational technology — students, learning, leadership and assessment. These remain as the basis of the design, organization and core curriculum guiding our program.
