Overview

Lehigh University’s Master of Science degree in Instructional Technology gives students the tools to incorporate a diverse range of technology in learning and instruction, whether they are working in K-12 schools, higher education, or the business world.

Key features

Master’s candidates learn how to integrate instructional technology more effectively in a variety of contexts, such as in classrooms, corporations, and non-profits, as well as how to effectively design, implement, and evaluate their technological integrations.

Application requirements include providing undergraduate and (if applicable) graduate transcripts, two letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and resume. The program can be started in the fall, spring, or summer terms.

The degree requires the completion of 10 courses (30 credits) offered in person, online, and in hybrid options, including summer institutes that are intensive eight-day courses. Typically, it takes one to three years to finish, depending on whether students are full-time or part-time.

Opportunities

There are numerous opportunities for flexible internships with colleges, businesses, and other organizations. Graduates have gone on to become successful instructional designers in education and industry, instructional technologists, managers of training, and instructional design in large companies and nonprofits and teacher trainers at universities in the U.S. and abroad. Some pursue doctorates and join college faculties.

Working closely with Lehigh faculty, students learn to incorporate technology in education and training for people of all ages and environments. Lehigh’s Instructional Technology program emphasizes Universal Design for Learning, an approach to teaching that accommodates differences in how individuals learn and helps all students succeed. The curriculum shows how to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act to personalize learning for an increasingly diverse population.

Courses offer instructional design proficiency in such areas as Project-Based Learning, Simulation-Based Learning, Game-Based Learning, Digital Storytelling and MakerSpace Development. Students are taught how to integrate STEM curriculum design and development, as well as Assessment/Evaluation Construction and Program Review processes.

Master’s candidates benefit from Lehigh faculty expertise in geospatial tools such as ArcGIS, Google Earth and mapping softwares, assistive technology, artificial intelligence, 3D modeling and game design with Blender and Unity3D, mobile technologies and application development, augmented reality and virtual reality use and development.
