Program Overview

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Training and Development is a distance-delivered curriculum. Courses are delivered using the Internet and integrated multimedia. The only required on-campus attendance is a 1-day orientation held just before beginning the first semester of the program.

While the degree program is offered on-line, it is built on principles of adult learning emphasizing interaction, collaboration, and team learning. It is also designed primarily for the working adult completing graduate studies on a part-time basis. Students are required to maintain continuous enrollment in the Fall and Spring semesters once accepted into the program.

Curriculum

The Master of Education degree in Training and Development is designed for entering or experienced training professionals who work in internal or external training positions in business, industry, military, government, and not-for-profit organizations. The program is structured around a core body of knowledge in adult education and the principles and theories of human performance improvement. The curriculum builds advanced understandings and skills in program design and the applications of learning theory incorporating principles, research, and practice. Individuals completing this master's program will have sufficient professional knowledge and skill for entry or advancement in instructional design, and instructional, administrative, or evaluation positions that involve performance-based training.

Students enrolled in the M.Ed. distance education will follow complete a specific set of courses during their program. A listing of the required courses can be found on the T&D M.Ed. - Student Planning Worksheet (pdf). This sheet can also be used to help students plan when and in what order to enroll in courses. Descriptions of these courses are provided on the NCSU listing of courses.

In addition, all graduate students are expected to either pass the AHE technology competencies through a testing out procedure or to attend a workshop at the beginning of their studies. Further information is noted on the department's technology page.
