Our Mission
The Master of Arts in Educational Technology (MAET) develops innovative educational leaders who are prepared to transform teaching and learning in their professional settings. Through our program, educators and designers develop a critical lens, promote equity, think in new ways and become transformational leaders.
Our graduates are thought leaders who have deep theoretical understandings of how, when and why to integrate technologies to support learning.
The MAET is a 30-credit masterās program (Plan B, without thesis) that can be completed through our flexible program pathways: online, summer hybrid and/or summer overseas. We also offer graduate certificate programs in a variety of modalities that allow educators to gain advanced knowledge and skills in just one or two semesters.

The MAET Student Experience
I reimagined how I wanted my students to learn from these adventures I experienced in the MAET program. The opportunities to collaborate with other teachers and my professors on a more personal level allowed me to grow my knowledge of educational technology and are the connections I cherish.
