Program Overview

Program Description:

The Masters of Education in Educational Technology Leadership is a new degree effective fall 2006, redesigned to meet state requirements for technology advocates and practitioners. Our graduate program in Educational Technology is one of the oldest in the state of Louisiana and is the first online degree of any kind approved by the Regents ten years ago. Best of all, this degree is 100% online, creating a wonderful opportunity for you to expand your knowledge in a format that is convenient to your lifestyle yet challenging as you prepare to be a better classroom teacher, school technology coordinator, or technology administrator. Unlike many of its counterparts at other universities this degree is not a concentration but a pure M. Ed in Educational Technology Leadership which was designed and fabricated to meet specific needs of technology advocates. It is supported by ITSE and NCATE as well, the only national accrediting entities in technology and education.
