Welcome to the MIT Program
The Donald R. Watson
School of Education at UNCW welcomes you to the Master of Science in Instructional Technology
(MIT) program.
As an exciting and innovative program, MIT provides students the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge
from educational and applied psychology, instructional systems design,
computer science, systems theory, and communication theory, allowing
for considerable flexibility to tailor individual needs across other
academic disciplines. Students from diverse fields can plan programs
which are consistent with their long-range academic and professional
goals. MIT courses are offered both on campus and online, allowing professionals to earn their degrees and/or certificates by taking MIT on-campus courses, or MIT online courses, or a combination of both types.
In addition, the MIT program is directed toward preparing students to function in a variety of roles to be performed in a broad range of settings, including business and industry, human services, health institutions, higher education, government, military, and public and private K-12 education.
