Description Of This Online Program
The ULM graduate program in Educational Technology Leadership (Non-P-12) is based on a core curriculum of 36 academic hours of graduate credit. Educational Technology leaders have a direct impact on the planning and utilization of technology for learning, teaching, and training. The mission of this program is to make a significant and long-lasting positive impact on learning and professional training by promoting and enhancing excellence. This program does not require a teaching certification.  

Program of Study for Educational Technology Leadership, Non_P-12
This graduate program does NOT require you to have a teaching certificate. The focus of this leadership program is developing and applying technology skills and methodologies for learning and training applications in public and private organizations using current instructional technologies and related applications.

Note: Unless a professional teaching portfolio is submitted, or an equivalent course is accepted, new candidates in the Educational Technology programs will be asked to take EDFN 5024, Utilization of Instructional Technologies, a foundation course for integrating technology within a curriculum, as a prerequisite for program entry.


How To Apply
For application information, please contact the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (C&I)) in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
