The program is convenient, flexible, and affordable for current technology education teachers who want to take a class or earn a degree without leaving their homes. You can complete the master's degree program or take a single course.

Technology education is the curriculum that evolved out of industrial arts, and technology teachers work with high school, middle school, and elementary school students, providing hands-on experiences in areas such as computers, manufacturing processes, graphics, transportation systems, and pre-engineering. The degree program should not be confused with a degree in educational technology, which looks at how technology is used to support learning.

Many school districts increase a teacher's salary when they earn a master's degree or even after taking just a few classes. In some states, a master's degree is required for professional teacher certification. This master's does not provide initial teacher licensure, but some of the courses may be used in pursuit of a teaching license.
