Overview

Would you like to become a leader in the emerging field of instructional technology management?

Are you ready to be part of the future of global training and learning?

Is your career exciting, interesting and taking where you want to go?

The future of training and learning is on a screen, online or on a device.

A Master of Science degree from La Salle University can help you become a chief learning officer, instructional architect, or designer and enter many other exciting and well paying positions. With a M.S. in Instructional Technology Management from La Salle, you will have the opportunity to occupy many roles within a company: assessing performance goals, developing learning objectives, designing instructional materials, delivering curriculum in classrooms, online or in blended environments, and using new and ever-evolving technologies to improve human performance and reduce costs.

La Salle’s M.S. in Instructional Technology Management (ITM) combines theory, hands-on design experience, and management skills to provide learners with a theoretical and intellectual foundation of instructional design principles, methods, and techniques. It provides an understanding of adult learning theories and the training to evaluate software, applications, programs, and methods in the context of the corporate training environment. This program provides opportunities to design, build, and implement multimedia and online projects for e-learning in corporate, government, or educational settings with an understanding of assessment and evaluation techniques. It also equips you with the leadership skills necessary to provide the vision, strategies, and solutions needed to create and sustain a learning culture. This program is designed in the context of the global corporate, organizational, or government training environment.

There are generally three problems with graduate programs:

  1. You don’t know how to apply what you’re learning to the real world because it is all theory, not practice.
  2. You don’t have a background that is compatible with the degree you're interested in.
  3. You know what you want to do . . . but you simply are not sure how to get there from here.

Without support and knowledge on how to put into practice what you are learning in your graduate degree program, you’ll struggle to advance in your career, and all your passion and enthusiasm will be drained away.

You’ve come to the right place. La Salle’s Instructional Technology Management program is designed so that the curriculum “walks the walk” and uses the ADDIE model as a base for each course and evaluation. We are experts on the corporate learning world, and you will be too.

The Instructional Technology Management program at La Salle:

  1. Emphasizes the students’ ability to apply universals and specifics to actual situations, to distinguish relationships, to analyze critically, to rearrange component ideas into new wholes, and to make judgments based on external criteria.
  2. Is offered through the College of Professional and Continuing Studies because it is a field that attracts people of many backgrounds and experiences who are looking to enter into a new field.
  3. Employs La Salle’s Mission that education should be useful and of service by placing individuals in positions where they will have the means to build an educated, able, and productive national and international workforce.

The program offered uses a blended approach, combining online with the convenient Main Campus in Philadelphia and Montgomery County Center, in Plymouth Meeting, PA.
