The Ed.S. program with a concentration in Instructional Technology provides initial or advanced preparation for instructional designers, instructional technology coordinators, and certified K-12 (e.g., teachers, school library media specialists) seeking to gain additional skills in instructional technology for integration into the PK-12 classroom. Admission requires a master’s degree in any field and at least a 3.0 GPA. Applicants for concentration one in School Library Media must be eligible for S-5 certification in School Library Media.
