About the Programm

The Educational Technology Program at Texas A&M explores the role that established and emerging technologies can play in improving education. Classes focus on the design, development, and implementation of effective instruction for a variety of audiences and settings, including K-12 schools, higher education, and training/professional development in business, industry and government. Students in our program develop a thorough grounding in instructional design, learning theory, and innovative educational practices supported by technology. Additionally, they acquire and hone their skills in using powerful technology-based tools to develop and deliver educational materials.

Graduates of our M.Ed. program are employed in a variety of fields:

in K-12 schools as technology administrators, professional development specialists, and classroom teachers
in industry and higher education as instructional designers, evaluators, and managers
in small businesses as designers and developers of training programs, educational websites, videos, and games; and in a wide variety of other positions and settings.

Our students come from a variety of backgrounds: in-service teachers; trainers from industry, health care, and the military; and graduates of different subject areas who decide they want to apply their skills and expertise within an educational context; just to name a few. This diversity of backgrounds means that students work with peers who have a wide range of experiences, skills, and interests, leading to a rich learning environment and a great network of contacts and friends that lasts long after completing the program.
