The program focuses on the theory and practice of design and development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning. It emphasizes product development and utilization of advanced technology and provides applied training in the total design, development, implementation, and evaluation of educational and training programs. The program consists of 36 credit hours including 15 hours of core or foundation courses and 15 credit hours of focus or specialty area courses, 3 hours of seminar series (colloquia) and internship, and 3 credit hours of electronic portfolio or master's thesis. The M.S. in Instructional Technology requires that students have North Carolina ""A"" level licensure in at least one area of education prior to admission if they are seeking advanced licensure. Upon completion of the program, students are recommended for ""M"" level licensure as an Instructional Technology Specialist – Computer Specialist. Individuals in other fields (e.g., business and industry, higher education or health-related fields, etc.) that do not require teaching licensure complete their master's degree in instructional technology, but are NOT recommended for advanced licensure in teaching upon completion. UNCW's Instructional Technology Specialist (ITS), an 18-hour certification program, has also been established within the M.S. in Instructional Technology Program to address the needs of K-12 teachers, as well as instructional technology specialists, community college faculty/staff, and individuals interested in advancing their career opportunities. The Certificate in Instructional Technology Specialist requires that students have or qualified to have, North Carolina class ""A"" teaching licensure in at least one area of education if they are seeking licensure in Educational Computing and Technology Facilitation (TF). Upon completion of the program, students are recommended for ""079"" Special Endorsement as a Technology Facilitator. Individuals in other fields that do not require teaching licensure (e.g., business, community college, or health-related fields, etc.) may be admitted to the program and complete the certificate in Instructional Technology Specialist, but will not be recommended for 079 Special Endorsement in Educational Computing and Technology Facilitation (TF). All courses in the MIT and IT Specialist (ITS) programs are delivered in a technology-enhanced (web-enhanced) or distance-learning (online) format. All web-enhanced and online courses are designed to provide highly interactive learning environment where students and the instructor use threaded discussion, virtual classroom interaction, email, and other online synchronous and asynchronous interaction and discussion to learn the materials. Both web-enhanced and online courses require attendance at an introductory group meeting in the Virtual Classroom for introductions or on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for introductions and to forge initial learning community linkages. Students also are introduced to web-based course content and its interactive components during this introductory session.

There is a large and growing need for scientists and engineers with advanced training in the geospatial technologies. In particular, there is a recognized need in different disciplines to gather, analyze, and interpret geographically referenced spatial information and data. The Master of Science in Integrated Geospatial Technology provides an optimal combination of education and training in Geospatial Science and Technology to students who wish to join the geospatial workforce. The program can be completed on-campus or through online courses. Current Michigan Tech undergraduate students can earn a MS degree with just a single year of study beyond the BS through the Accelerated Master's Program.

The Integrated Geospatial Technology MS program is designed for students from a variety of backgrounds to pursue careers in surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), terrestrial laser scanning industries, and for allied areas that require knowledge and understanding of the acquisition, processing, and analysis of spatially referenced data. These types of data help scientists from many different disciplines such as geology, volcanology, forestry, agriculture, social sciences, demography, history, and politics study diverse aspects of Earth and human phenomena. While many disciplines use such data and technologies as supplementary tools in their research, geospatial data acquisition and processing is an applied science and technology by itself.

Entry Requirements

To be considered for admission to the Graduate School as a degree-seeking student, the applicant must be

- the recipient of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution;

- adequately prepared for advanced study in the chosen field of specialization, as demonstrated by the previous program of study and the scholastic record; and

- recommended for admission by the head of the program or concentration

- Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale
