Master of Science in Instructional Technology

The Donald R. Watson School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington is pleased to introduce the Master of Science in Instructional Technology (MIT) program. An exciting and innovative program of instructional technology and instructional design unlike any other in the State, the MIT program at UNCW will focus on knowledge and competencies contained in the five comprehensive domains of instructional design, instructional development, utilization, management, and evaluation.

Students in the program will also have the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge from educational and applied psychology, instructional systems design, computer science, systems theory, and communication theory, allowing for considerable flexibility to tailor individual needs across other academic disciplines. Thus students from diverse fields can plan programs which are consistent with their long-range academic and professional goals.

The field of instructional technology employs a combination of human and technological resources to bring about more effective instruction. Each aspect of the field is unique in its contribution to the teaching-learning process.
