The Educational Technology Specialist, M.S.Ed. is a fully online 30 credit-hour program that prepares students to be leaders in K-12 schools. Throughout the course of their studies students will hone their interpersonal and technology skills and work collaboratively with K-12 faculty and staff to create and manage highly engaging learning environments. For students holding an initial teaching certification, this degree leads to recommendation for an additional New York certification as an Educational Technology Specialist, and satisfies the academic requirements for Professional Certification. The program meets the standards established by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and is CAEP certified.
 
 A New York State teaching certificate is required to be admitted into the Educational Technology Specialist program. If you are not certified, the easiest option is to enroll in the Instructional Design and Educational Technology program, as it does not require a teacher certificate.
