The faculty in the Division of Psychology in Education offer graduate programs leading to the Master of Education (M.Ed.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Educational Technology. The focus of these programs is on design, development, and evaluation of instructional systems and on educational technology applications to support learning. The doctoral program emphasizes research using educational technology in applied settings.
The graduate programs leading to a degree in Educational Technology prepare students for a variety of positions consistent with their professional goals. Most doctoral graduates of the program accept appointments as university faculty members; educational technologists in universities, community colleges, and schools; or as training managers in corporate settings. Potential employment opportunities for master’s degree graduates include positions as educational technologists in schools, community colleges, and universities; or as training specialists in corporate settings.
Applicants for admission to the Ph.D. degree program in Educational Technology must submit scores for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Master of Education program applicants must submit scores for either the GRE or the Miller Analogies Test. All application materials should be received at least three months prior to the semester in which the applicant wishes to begin study.
The M.Ed. degree in Educational Technology requires the completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond a bachelor’s degree. Eighteen semester hours of prescribed course work is required for all students in the Master of Educational Technology program. In addition, students select a minimum of 12 semester hours from a variety of specialty areas such as instructional design technology, media development, technology integration, and distance education. For a complete description of the M.Ed. program in Educational Technology, access the Web site at coe.asu.edu/psyched. For more information, see Education, “Master of Education,” for general requirements.
The Ph.D. degree in Educational Technology requires a minimum of 84 semester hours beyond the bachelor’s degree. At least 54 of these hours must be taken at ASU. Each Ph.D. student in Educational Technology is required to complete 54 to 60 semester hours of prescribed course work and a minimum of 24 semester hours of elective courses. In addition, each Ph.D. student in Educational Technology must satisfy a publication requirement prior to beginning work on their dissertation. For a complete description of the Ph.D. in Educational Technology, access the Web site at coe.asu.edu/psyched. For more information, see Graduate Studies at ASU Main and ASU East, “Doctor of Philosophy.”
Research activity includes design, development, and evaluation of instructional environments and educational technology applications, emerging technologies, and instructional effectiveness. Students participate in research activities and course work that lead to conference participation and journal publication.
Courses at the 500, 600, and 700 levels are graduate credit courses. Courses at the 400 level apply to graduate degree requirements when appearing on an approved program of study. However, 400-level courses are not graduate courses by definition and cannot be certified as such for purposes of employment or transferring to other institutions. |
