Instructional Design Programs
Instructional design programs are a growing area. Most institutions prepare students for graduate level programs in instructional design and technology only. Typically, this would be Master of Science (M.Sc.), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Education (M.Ed), Educational specialist (Ed .S) Doctor of Education (Ed .D), or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Very few programs have undergraduate or bachelors level programs. A few programs however do prepare students for certificate programs. Different schools use different names for their programs, for example Computer Education, Educational Multimedia, Educational Technology, Instructional Design and Development, Instructional Technology, Instructional Systems, Instructional Systems Technology, Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation, Instructional Design and Technology, Instructional and Performance Technology, Learning Technologies. Schools listed on this site are accredited. It is important to get your degree from an accredited program because it enhances your career mobility and provides greater flexibility in the types of jobs that you can apply for. Below is a list of some programs offered in graduate programs in the United States. The Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) offers a longer list of programs offered both on campus and via online distance learning modes.
