About the Instructional Technology Doctoral Program

The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Instructional Technology is designed to prepare Instructional Technology professionals for leader/educator/researcher roles in various settings including schools, corporate, and higher education. The program includes an in-depth study of instructional design and educational technology applications and solid foundation of educational research and educational psychology. Throughout this program, students will use instructional design, learning theories, and concepts to explain an instructional need or problem and address it by providing an instructional product, system, or solution to maximize learning in a given situation. Students will be required to conduct an application research to improve instructional design and technology practice in a professional educational setting. 

The doctoral program requires 93 credit hours (including a dissertation) beyond a bachelor’s degree. Doctoral program graduates often enter the field of higher education as professors, instructional designers, and technology specialists.
