Three Degrees PictureThe Instructional Design and Technology Department (IDT) has announced three new undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree options started in Fall of 2007.

The field of instructional technology is growing and diversifying. As this occurs, need arises for practitioners to specialize into well-reconized sub-fields. Graduates of the IDT undergraduate are experiencing this need to focus on relevant specializations. The IDT program now offers students a choice of three specialized degree options to meet each student's own personal interests.

Each option will allow students to have this important sub-field designated on their transcripts. By so doing, it will increase their ability to find employment in the specific field, as well as provide a sharper focus for their professional career goals.
