New option for master's degree in the School of Education

The Alabama Commission on Higher Education recently approved a new option for the master's degree program in the AUM School of Education, Foundations and Secondary Education department.

The new degree option is the master of Education in Instructional Technology. This is a non-certified online degree program for teachers, staff and administrators who wish to increase their understanding of the role of technology and its appropriate use in the support of student learning.

"This degree is also appropriate for industry educators (those not in the K12 environment) who wish to study instructional design and learn how technology can be used in learning and teaching," said Dr. Michael Gilchirst, department head, Foundations and Secondary Education. "The new program is designed to be completed in five semesters but can be extended to other time schedules, and all courses are available online."
