Program Information

Degree Offered

M.A.Ed.-Technology in Education

Format: Campus, Online

Program Description:

The world is changing, and you think education should be changing, too. Not just by using more technology, but by finding better ways of teaching and learning. You want to not only know about this change, you want to be part of it. In short, you want to be part of a community of educational innovators.

Students have the option of applying to one of two formats in this program:
* A "mixed mode" format, which blends Internet-based coursework with limited on-campus meetings.
* Global Program, which features convenient online courses and two 3-week summer residencies in Geneva, Switzerland in a condensed, 15-month program.

Focus:
UM-Flint’s Technology in Education program, a concentration of the Master of Arts (MA) in Education, is designed to help you move to the forefront of educational practice with technology.
Teachers, administrators, education specialists in business or community organizations, and others who seek relevant, practical grounding in tools and concepts related to the use of technology in educational settings are prime candidates for this program.
Teaching certification is not required for admission, though Michigan teaching certificate holders who wish to add the educational technology endorsement (coded NP) will be assisted in planning an appropriate program.
In the Technology in Education program, you will focus on enactment of innovative projects within learning environments, create individualized educational technology projects, and build a long-term network of innovative educators.
Flexibility:
Maximum flexibility to accommodate your busy schedule is assured with the mixed-mode format, which blends Internet-based coursework with limited on-campus meetings.
The Technology in Education program requires 33-36 credit hours, typically pursued as a two-year, part-time program.
Students can take part in the Global Program option, a condensed, 18 month program with residencies in Geneva, Switzerland.*
Thesis and non-thesis tracks are available.
Michigan teaching certificate holders can earn an NP (Educational Technology) endorsement with 18 credits, as part of the MA program or independently.

Resources:
Like all University of Michigan faculty, UM-Flint’s Education Technology instructors are true “leaders and best” – experienced, tested, and respected experts in their field.
As part of the world-renowned University of Michigan system, UM-Flint can tap additional resources, expertise, and contacts at our sister campuses in Dearborn and Ann Arbor to assist our students, their research, and other initiatives.
