This major is designed for persons planning to work in non-school settings. Majors in this area will complete a basic core of course work applicable to all preparing our graduates for a variety of professional opportunities in business and higher education, including: instructional designer, trainer, media support specialist, web designer, or community college instructor. Specific areas of interest will determine the supporting electives. Licensure as a teacher is not required for admission to the program. The bachelor's degree may be in any field.

The program is available in either the thesis or non-thesis option and requires a minimum of 35 semester hours. All students completing the thesis option are required to pass an oral examination prepared and administered by the thesis committee. The examination will be comprehensive in nature and will normally accompany the thesis defense. Students completing the non-thesis option are required to, at the end of their program of study, submit a comprehensive portfolio that is representative of their work.
