The coursework leads to a Doctor of Philosophy in Learning Technologies, which can be completed in residency or at a distance. We are the first university in Texas to offer a distance-delivered doctoral degree in Learning Technologies or a related area. The required coursework focuses on understanding and expanding the synergy of technology and learning/instructional systems theory. The program also provides:

  • A strong foundation in computing and information/cognitive science, learning theory and education.
  • Mentoring from faculty members and professionals in the field.
  • An option to complete work for a master’s degree in Learning Technologies while working toward your doctoral degree.
  • The opportunity to build a portfolio of academic writing, creative work and service demonstrating student skills to future employers after graduation.

Students are prepared for positions at universities and organizations that create, evaluate and teach about or test innovative applications of learning technology. Many of our doctoral graduates find employment in education; while others find work in business and industry.
