Instructional Technology Specialist, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

In today’s workforce, learning continues long after full-time education has been completed. Whether you are a K-12 teacher, faculty member at a community college or university, or an instructional technology professional working in an industry like healthcare, government, or business, the ability to provide technical support and instructional design expertise will quickly separate you from your peers and enhance your employment opportunities.

For creative individuals, the ITS certificate program develops your knowledge of utilization practices and the ability to apply them in instructional settings. By building a base of conceptual and practical understanding of principles of instructional design and development, you will learn design processes and production skills that equip you to develop web-based resources and distance education programs.

Ultimately, you will gain key leadership skills that prepare you to facilitate planning and implementation of instructional technology innovations in any field your career takes you.

UNCW’s ITS certificate program is designed to develop skills that empower you to:

• Design instructional e-learning programs and custom learning solutions
• Lead and manage training programs for medium-to-large businesses and corporations, healthcare organizations, and public and private schools and universities
• Develop instructional or educational software using multiple, combined media

The ITS Certificate provides access to the benefits of our nationally-ranked Master of Science in Instructional Technology program, and a separate ITS/TF pathway is provided for licensed K-12 teachers seeking the 079 Special Endorsement in Educational Computing and Technology Facilitation (TF). All credits earned toward an ITS or ITS/TF certificate can be applied toward an M.S. degree.
