Introduction

The courses in the Learning Design and Technology (LDT) MA program are fully online unless specified otherwise. Once admitted, students begin a plan of study that typically takes about two years to complete.

During the last semester of a MA program, students complete a professional portfolio, an online course project, or a thesis-type written project in lieu of a comprehensive exam. Each student seeking a MA in LDT will consult with their Faculty Advisor to determine which comprehensive project best meets your professional needs.
