The online Ed.D. Educational Psychology and Technology program is designed to prepare you to become an instructional technology leader ready to meet the evolving demands of education, training, and organizational work shaped by technology and AI.
Explore more than 50 instructional and educational technology tools, including electronic portfolios, blended and online learning environments, technology-based instruction, and more, while learning to evaluate their effectiveness, usability, and alignment with learning and training outcomes.
Choose from three concentrations based on your professional goals:

• Higher Education Learning and Technology: Design, implement, and evaluate technology-enhanced learning in college and university settings.
• K-12 Education Learning and Technology: Apply educational psychology and technology to improve teaching, learning, and organizational effectiveness in elementary and secondary education settings.
• Instructional Design: Build advanced skills in instructional design, learning theory, needs analysis, developing technology-enhanced learning experiences, and evaluation. This concentration includes a nested Instructional Design Certificate, so you can earn both the doctoral degree and certificate at the same time.

You can also choose a doctoral capstone pathway based on your professional goals, with capstone development embedded throughout the program.

• Traditional Pathway: Designed for those interested in higher education, academic leadership, policy, or research-focused roles, this pathway emphasizes theory-driven or empirical research that addresses a gap in literature or theory. You’ll have the flexibility to study topics and populations beyond your current workplace.
• Action Research Pathway: For practitioners who want to study and improve a problem of practice in their professional setting, this pathway allows you to conduct research that can inform decision-making, improve policy or practice, and support evidence-based change in your organization or learning environment.
• Professional Practice Project Pathway: For practitioners who want to create a usable solution for a real workplace need, this pathway allows you to develop and evaluate a research-informed product, such as a training program, new curriculum, technology integration plan, or professional development course, and reflect on its impact.
