Educational Technology Certificate


Certificate Requirements (10-12 units)


The Graduate Certificate in Educational Technology is  designed for educators, e-learning developers, and industry technologists. The program combines instructional design theories with a knowledge of emerging technologies. The program advocates lifelong learning that allows students to nurture their personal and professional growth. The arenas in which Educational Technology Certificate graduates will be active include school districts, county offices of education, community colleges, the high tech industry as an e-learning developer, and the field of instructional design. 

Our students earn a graduate certificate to gain or enhance employment as an educational technologist, instructional designers, a curriculum specialist, community college instructors, school district technology director and technology trainer.  Certificate holders  also teach more effectively using educational technologies in the classroom. Finally, a certificate allows the transfer of 9 units to the Master’s in Educational Technology.
