EdS in Learning, Design, and Technology (Instructional Technology)

Faculty and Curriculum

Our EdS in Learning, Design, and Technology will develop your skills as a practitioner and leader in technology-enhanced education in elementary and secondary schools.

While you will complete your coursework online, you will have some opportunity to meet with faculty and fellow students in person. We hold a face-to-face kickoff meeting at the start of the program, as well as in-person mini-conferences early in each spring semester.

Most students complete the program in two years, taking two to three courses per semester.

For the instructional technology concentration, you will complete an internship in instructional technology and take 30 hours covering topics including:

Instructional design
Multicultural perspectives on technology
Online learning design
Information literacy
Computer-based education
Instructional product evaluation

Tuition and Financial Aid

Almost all in-state students begin their studies at UGA paying limited tuition or fees. Please note that these amounts are subject to change and are meant to give prospective students an idea of the costs associated with a degree at the University of Georgia College of Education.

Students may qualify for a variety of assistantships, scholarships, and other financial awards to help offset the cost of tuition, housing, and other expenses.

Meet Your Advisor

Most graduate students at UGA are not assigned to a faculty advisor until after admittance. A close working relationship with your advisor is paramount to progressing through your program of study.
