PhD Learning Technologies
For the past 30 years, the University of North Texas has been at the forefront of the fast-growing field of educational, instructional and learning technologies. 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.
A successful doctoral candidate will demonstrate proficiency in both process and content areas. Process proficiency refers to the skills and knowledge that graduates use in the course of being contributing scholars/practitioners; whereas, content areas proficiency is the deep domain-specific knowledge and skills which form the foundation of our discipline. These activities are supported through mentoring and student-centered study and research.
