Master of Education in Educational Technology Leadership
Southeastern Louisiana University is excited about the potential of Southeastern’s
newest master’s degree program. The Louisiana Board of Regents approved a re-designed
Master of Education in Technology Leadership and it will be administered by the Department
of Educational Leadership and Technology within the College of Education. It should
be apparent to everyone that technological-changes drive our society and technology
is a major force throughout the world. Our program is designed to address this rapid
change by providing needed knowledge and skills for candidates enrolled in the program.
Additionally, you may be interested in the Louisiana Department of Education’s approved
technology certification programs. If so, you can take specific courses to accomplish
this professional development goal in order to advance your career.
We have an experienced, talented faculty to guide you through the program’s offerings.
Take a look at our faculty and our degree program. If you are a classroom teacher,
the Technology Leadership Program can provide new insights, knowledge and skills to
enhance your instructional experiences in the classroom. As a teacher, you may have
aspirations to become a school or district technology leader to administer technology
initiatives. This program can help you accomplish this.
Perhaps you are not a K-12 teacher but are interested in a career in technology providing
leadership to your current organization or perhaps you are looking at new employment
opportunities. Talk with us about how the Technology Leadership master’s program might
help you in that regard.
The world is changing and you want to keep abreast of that change personally as well
as professionally. You owe it to yourself to look at what we are offering and then
talk with us, send us an email or come by to talk with us.
