Additional Information

Current master's students wishing to move to a doctoral degree program in this same graduate program will be required to submit a new application.
*International applicants are advised that completion of the on-campus Master of Science in Education degree, with a concentration in Learning Design and Technology (LDT), will take longer than two years to complete. Some required courses in the LDT master's program are offered only in an online format. Full-time international graduate students must register for at least five credits of on-campus coursework each semester to meet visa requirements. This may impact international students' progress in the on-campus LDT master's program. For information on the Learning Design & Technology online program, please visit the online MSEd website.
Students effectively completing Purdue Global’s Graduate Certificate in Instructional Design and Technology may continue their education in the MS in Education in Learning Design and Technology program at Purdue West Lafayette, upon meeting agreement provisions.
