MAET students can earn their master’s degrees entirely online. We offer 16 online courses with a 15:1 student to instructor ratio. These fully accessible courses are primarily asynchronous, with opportunities for brief, interactive connections.

The Master of Arts in Educational Technology (MAET) develops innovative educational leaders who are prepared to transform teaching and learning in their professional settings. Through our program, educators and designers develop a critical lens, promote equity, think in new ways and become transformational leaders.
Our graduates are thought leaders who have deep theoretical understandings of how, when and why to integrate technologies to support learning.
The MAET is a 30-credit master’s program (Plan B, without thesis) that can be completed online and through our summer overseas program. We also offer graduate certificate programs in a variety of modalities that allow educators to gain advanced knowledge and skills in just one or two semesters.

Think of it as “choose your own adventure,” earning your master’s degree or graduate certificate in the way that best suits your needs and interests. Have questions? We look forward to answering them for you at edutech@msu.edu!
I reimagined how I wanted my students to learn from these adventures I experienced in the MAET program. The opportunities to collaborate with other teachers and my professors on a more personal level allowed me to grow my knowledge of educational technology and are the connections I cherish.
