3. Build capacity to adapt to and work with, diverse media types across multiple platforms to create and support authentic learning relevant to the learners and their learning contexts.

The program leads to a Master of Science in Education degree with a specialization in information technology. Any student interested in this program must meet with a faculty adviser before any coursework is taken.

The Master of Science in Education: Information Technology degree has its own unique core coursework, including a nine-hour professional core and a nine-hour information technology core.

All MS Ed Information Technology students holding a current teaching license at the time of application are required to complete a 3-credit ED 609 Practicum . Students should contact their adviser about arranging an appropriate practicum.
