Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to do to apply?
You need to apply to the Graduate College for admittance. Please see the Graduate College website for application forms, deadlines, and other requirements at : http://www.gradcollege.txstate.edu/
Be sure to write "Educational Technology" as your proposed major in Section A - Seeking a Master's degree.

The Graduate College will then send an application packet to the advisor for approval to be admitted into the program.

Will I be accepted to the educational technology program? What are the requirements?

You must have a 2.75 GPA on the last 60 undergraduate semester hours of letter-grade work earned before receipt of your Bachelor's (plus any previous taken graduate or professional work.) The Educational Technology program no longer requires the GRE test but students may consider taking it if their GPA is below the required 2.75.

Will all of the Educational Technology courses be offered each semester?

No. At the present time there are not enough students in the program to offer all of the classes each semester. Classes do have a cycle so you will be able to pick up at least two new courses in EdTech each semester in addition to any of the minor/cognate courses you are taking.

What classes should I enroll in the first semester?

You may begin taking courses at any point in the program. Since we can't offer all EDTC classes each semester, students are advised to begin with whatever EDTC courses are offered the semester they begin their studies. EDTC 5310 is offered every semester and should be one of the first courses taken. Also we highly encourage studnts to take the CI 5390 Research class as one of their very early classes.
