Curriculum for Doctor of Philosophy


Required Courses

Note: Owing to the nature of the discipline and the rapidly changing nature of instructional technology (please refer to Review Form A), the Instructional Technology faculty expect to exercise great latitude in determining appropriate courses and experiences for each student. Indeed, other than College requirements, the formulaic expression of course and program requirements that is expressed in this document should be interpreted as a working outline from which each student's program of studies will be adapted.
