INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY GRADUATE CERTIFICATES
The School of Engineering and Technology offers five unique post-baccalaureate certificate programs in Instructional Design and Technology (IDT).
Whether you are seeking to advance in your organization, start a business, or simply upgrade your skills in a current position, a certificate in IDT can play an important role in helping achieve your professional goals. The certificate programs combine up-to-date knowledge with practical applications and individualized experiences. The purpose of the certificate programs are to facilitate professional growth in technology and related abilities in problem solving and systematic planning.
You can tailor coursework to your specific career goal through five customized certificate programs. Each certificate program provides an opportunity to master specialized technology and skills in order for you to adapt and excel in an increasingly complex and technological work environment.
Transfer credit is not accepted into the certificate plan. Courses taken while working on these certificates can be counted as elective hours toward a Master of Science degree in IDT. Students who wish to pursue this option while working on a certificate should state such intention so they can receive proper advising. Successful completion of the certificate program does not guarantee admission into the IDT master’s degree program.
