Program Description
The Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation Department (IDD&E) offers a variety of programs to help students develop the competencies required to identify and evaluate learning and performance problems and to design, develop, and implement appropriate instructional solutions to these problems. Students develop competencies to conduct instructional analysis, make appropriate design decision, develop instructional materials, implement and evaluate instructional programs, and assess learning. The curriculum includes courses that blend soft technologies (thinking models and theories, strategic planning, IDD&E processes, interpersonal communications, and software) and hard technologies. Through practical projects, students develop competencies to design, create, implement, and evaluate non-technology and technology-supported instructional solutions for a variety of educational and professional settings. Master’s (M.S.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation are offered. Certificates are also offered in designing digital instruction (online program-15 credits), educational technology (15 credits), and instructional design foundations (12 credits).
IDD&E offers two M.S. degree options:
- Option 1: 10 courses with 6 sections requiring some face-to-face/in-person attendance on or near Syracuse University’s main campus (IDE 552, 621, 631, 632, 641, 712, 761), and 4 offered through online study (IDE 611, 761, 737, 772); or
- Option 2: A fully on-line program with 10 courses. This option has no requirements for on-campus residency.
Candidates must select one or the other of these options, and may not mix and match course sections from the two options. Either option may be completed either through full-time or part-time study.
