Master of Education in Learning Design and Technology (online) Progressive Degree

Program Overview

Through the Learning Design and Technology progressive degree, you can fast track the completion of both your undergraduate degree and Master of Learning Design and Technology. The Learning Design and Technology program will help you gain the skills to design, develop, implement and evaluate learning and instruction in a variety of settings, including PK-12, higher education, military, nonprofit and corporate learning environments. 

Familiarize yourself with the Learning Design and Technology program, including the curriculum and cost of attendance prior to applying to the progressive degree.
