What can I do with a degree in instructional technology?
The instructional technology program prepares students for a variety of instructional development and technology-related positions in education, nonprofits, business and industry.
Stacked Credentials

You can apply the credits from a post-baccalaureate certificate toward the master’s degree. Thus, if you earn a certificate, you actually will be earning two SIUE credentials: a post-baccalaureate certificate and a degree.
