Program Overview

Master of Educational Technology Program

The Master of Educational Technology program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of educational technology and its applications in various settings.

Program Overview

The program allows students to undertake study in this field without committing to a full master’s degree. As a student in the Master of Educational Technology program, you may select from a range of courses and study alongside students in the full MET program.

Graduate Certificate Program

The graduate certificate program requires students to complete ETEC 500 and at least one other MET core course, plus three elective courses. New students are accepted into the graduate certificate program three times per year in January, May, and September. Graduate certificate students typically complete their program in 1-2 years. Up to 3 credits of non-MET courses may be credited towards the graduate certificate with approval of the MET Academic Advisor.
