Specializations
The ALA-accredited Master of Science (MS) in Library and Information Science curriculum prepares professionals for information-providing organizations. In April 2009, the MS was ranked ninth among library science programs in the nation, according to US News and World Report’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools.” The MS degree qualifies students for a wide variety of positions, including school library media specialist. Students may formally declare a concentration in School Library Media, Youth Services, Competitive Intelligence and Knowledge Management, Digital Libraries, or Information and Library Services. The School Library Media concentration is for students who wish to work in K–12 school library programs in both public and private schools. Designed to prepare graduates to be eligible for certification as school librarians by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the program meets the requirements of the State of Pennsylvania and provides a strong basis for seeking certification in other states as well. Three course sequences are available within the concentration: one for students who have no prior teaching certification from PDE, one for students who have prior teaching certification from PDE and who wish to add school librarian certification to their credentials, and one for students with ALA-accredited master’s degrees who wish to seek school librarian certification from PDE. In addition to the concentrations outlined above, students may choose to specialize in Healthcare Informatics or Archival Management. In keeping with the flexibility and personal planning emphasis of the college’s MS, students may also select a “no concentration” option. The college also offers a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS), a Master of Science in Software Engineering (MSSE), and a PhD. There is an Advanced Certificate in Information Studies and Technology which is a nondegree program providing specialized training beyond the master’s degree and an online Certificate in Healthcare Informatics providing knowledge and skills in the application of information technology (IT) in the provision of healthcare.
Features
The MS degree (as well as the MSIS and MSSE) is offered on-campus and online. Students may take the degree completely on-campus, completely online, or as a mixture of the two. Currently, all courses in the School Library Media Concentration except the Field Study (INFO 891) are offered online. INFO 891 must be completed in approved sites and is augmented with an online seminar.
Admission Requirements
Admission requirements for the master’s program: official Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores (may be waived with a 3.2 GPA CUM or in the last half (credits) of a completed undergraduate or graduate degree; department decision). For a full list of admission requirements, visit the website at www.ischool.drexel.edu.
Degree Requirements
15 courses . Additional coursework is required for those seeking teaching certification in Pennsylvania.

Instructional design , Urban community partnerships enhanced by technology, integration of technology in teacher education, visual representation of information, linking instructional technology with content area instruction, educational uses of digital media (including digital photography, digital video, and digital storytelling), collaborative design and development of multimedia, and uses of instructional technology in health science education.
Features
The IT Program at the University of Houston can be distinguished from other IT programs at other institutions through our unique philosophy based on a strong commitment to the broad representations of the community, the individual, and the collaboration that strengthens the two. We broadly perceive community to include our college, the university, and the local Houston environment. The community is a rich context and resource from which we can solicit authentic learning tasks and clients and to which we can contribute new perspectives and meaningful products. Our students graduate with real-world experience that can only be gained by experience with extended and coordinated community-based projects, not by contrived course requirements. Our program actively seeks outside funding to promote and continue such authentic projects because we so strongly believe it is the best context in which our students can develop expertise in the field. We recognize that each student brings to our program a range of formal training, career experience, and future goals. Thus, no longer can we be satisfied with presenting a single, static curriculum and still effectively prepare students for a competitive marketplace. Our beliefs have led us to develop a program that recognizes and celebrates student individuality and diversity. Students work with advisors to develop a degree plan that begins from their existing knowledge and strives toward intended career goals. We aim to teach not specific software or hardware operations but instead focus on transferable technical skills couched in solid problem-solving experiences, theoretical discussions, and a team-oriented atmosphere. Students work throughout the program to critically evaluate their own work for the purpose of compiling a performance portfolio that will accurately and comprehensively portray their individual abilities to themselves, faculty, and future employers. Completing our philosophical foundation is a continuous goal of collaboration. Our faculty operates from a broad collaborative understanding that recognizes how everyone involved in any process brings unique and valuable experiences and perspectives. Within the IT program, faculty, staff, and students rely on each other to contribute relevant expertise. Faculty members regularly seek collaboration with other faculty in the College of Education, especially those involved with teacher education, as well as with faculty in other schools across campus. Collaboration is a focus that has been infused through the design of our courses and our relationships with students. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/189269174434698/.

Specializations
The program prepares students for a variety of work environments by offering core courses that are applicable to a multitude of professional venues. The program also allows for specific emphasis area studies via open-ended assignments and course electives that include courses particularly relevant to higher education, business/industry, or K–12 environments. The primary focus of the program is on the processes involved in instructional design, training and development, media production, and utilization of instructional technologies. Because technology is continually changing, the program emphasizes acquisition of a process over the learning of specific technologies. Although skills necessary in making Educational Technology products are taught, technology changes rapidly; therefore, a primary emphasis on making technological products would lead to the acquisition of skills that are quickly outdated. However, learning the principles and mental tools critical to producing successful training and education will endure long after “new” technologies have become obsolete. That is why the University of Arkansas ETEC program focuses on the processes as opposed to specific technologies.
Features
The Educational Technology Program is a 33-h non-thesis online master’s program that prepares students for professional positions as educational technologists of education, business, government, and the health professions. Because the program is offered online, there are no on-campus requirements for the completion of this degree.
Admission Requirements
The Educational Technology online master’s program admits students in the fall, spring, and summer. Applications and all accompanying documents must be submitted within 3 months of the desired starting semester to ensure adequate processing time. To qualify for admission, applicants must have an earned bachelor’s degree and an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 within the last 60 h of coursework. Specific application materials can be found at http://etec.uark.edu/1069.htm. Applicants for the MEd degree must have met all requirements of graduate school admission, completed a bachelor’s degree, and earned a 3.0 GPA in all undergraduate coursework or obtain an acceptable score on the Graduate Record Examinations or Miller Analogy Test. A graduate school application, ETEC Program Application, writing sample, autobiographical sketch, and letters of recommendation are required for admission consideration.
Degree Requirements
Beginning Fall 2012 , in addition to general admission requirements, students must complete a minimum of 34 h to include 22 semester hours of educational technology core courses, nine semester hours of educational technology electives, and three semester hours of research.

Features
Interdisciplinary collaboration that integrates learning science and information technology is the hallmark of the IST graduate program and a CSUMB core value. Recognizing that the use of technology is critical to the design, development, and delivery of instruction in the twenty-first century, IST integrates modern learning technology and pedagogy to create educational experiences adequate for the contemporary world. This technology infusion models best practices to learners. Rather than setting aside one course that deals solely with ethics and social responsibility, our curriculum integrates ethical reflection and practice throughout the program. All required courses incorporate the basic concepts and concerns of ethics into their design, development, and delivery. Multiculturalism and globalism are infused into the IST curriculum, including discussion of diversity in the conduct of instructional design and diversity in the understanding of ethics. Applied learning is critical to the IST program, and we use an integrated pedagogy that builds on each semester outcome. Please see the program curriculum outline in the Degree Requirements section, and visit our website for more details at http://www.csumb.edu/mist/.

Specializations
The Master of Education concentration in Learning , Media, and Technology prepares students to understand, critique, and improve technology- and media-based learning and teaching. The program is structured such that students construct solid knowledge of theories of learning and instruction, as well as theories of the design and use of educational technologies and media. Just as importantly, we offer a number of courses and research experiences through which students develop facility with applied aspects of technology-centered educational practices (e.g., authoring software systems, utilizing tools such as Director and Flash). By encountering multiple opportunities for the analysis, design, and testing of educational technology/media, students develop a principled approach to technology- and media-based instruction and learning. The Math, Science, and Learning Technology doctoral program prepares graduate students to improve the learning and instruction of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. To achieve that goal, we are deeply committed to research and scholarship, using both basic and applied research. We put a premium on developing principled approaches to affect educational practice and pursuing rigorous theory building about educational phenomena. We apply such knowledge in developing state-of-the-art instructional designs. These efforts grow from an understanding of educational practice and coursework with practitioners in both formal and informal learning settings. Importantly we recognized that certain social groups have been historically marginalized from STEM disciplines, education, and work. We seek to understand the processes and structures contributing to the systematic exclusion of these groups and to actively contribute to correcting such inequities. Our work draws from a variety of disciplines including cognitive science, sociology, anthropology, the learning sciences, psychology, and computer science.
Features
In the master’s program, we consider media and technology both as tools in learning and teaching specific disciplines (e.g., mathematics and science) and as objects of study in and of themselves. With regard to the former and in line with the affiliated faculty’s expertise, students explore the educational uses of a variety of technological forms (e.g., robotics systems for learning engineering, physics, programming, and the arts) and computer-based environments (e.g., software systems for learning scientific image processing). As for the latter, students actively engage in designing and using various learning technologies and media, including web-based environments, computer-mediated communications systems, computer-based virtual worlds, and new media for new literacies. The features of the doctoral program of study are: * provide an interconnected locus of intellectual activity for graduate students and faculty; * increase equity (in gender, ethnicity, and opportunities) in recruitment, admission, and retention of students and faculty and pursue issues of equity in science education; * teach relevant courses, seminars, and independent studies in mathematics and science education; * conduct pertinent research studies in mathematics and science learning, teaching, curriculum development, and assessment; * build a base of scholarship, disseminate new knowledge, and apply it actively in education; * provide apprenticeship opportunities for graduate students; * understand and support effective practice in mathematics and science education; * coordinate outreach efforts with K-12 schools and related projects; * collaborate with faculty in the department, school, and university as well as in the wider profession throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts nationally and internationally.
Admission Requirements
For the master’s program: GPA of 2.75 or higher, TESOL test score of 80 points or higher, excellent letters of recommendation, and clear statement of purpose. For the doctoral program: earned Master’s Degree in Math, Natural Sciences, Learning Technology, or Education, GPA of 2.75 or higher, TESOL test score of 80 points or higher, excellent letters of recommendation, and clear statement of purpose.
