Program Description

The MSED program in Technology Education leads to professional certification in New York State and is for teaching professionals who want to tailor their graduate experience toward the pedagogies and teaching environments specific to Technology Education.  Students in the program will develop skills with curriculum development, advanced instructional methodologies, student assessment, and developing and managing laboratory instructional facilities.  Students have the flexibility to pursue their professional interests through technical coursework in our or other disciplines, independent applied projects, or a thesis.  Initial certification in Technology Education is an admissions requirement.  Applicants who are currently working on initial certification may be considered for admission to the program.  Please contact the program coordinator for more information.

A full-time or part-time on-campus program of graduate study in Technology Education is possible during the fall and spring semesters and the summer session. Degree requirements may be completed by a full-time student in two semesters plus one or two summer sessions or by part-time students in three summer sessions, provided that two are nine-week sessions in consecutive years. Information about graduate assistantships may be obtained from the department office.
