Postsecondary Technical Education
Welcome to the Department of Educational Foundations and Leadership website for the Technical Education Program in the College of Education.
 What is Postsecondary Technical Education?
The Technical Education Program is in the Department of Educational Foundations & Leadership in the College of Education. Technical Education offers both degrees and certificates. The degrees and certificates provide individuals with the skills needed to successfully teach/train others in educational and business settings. The Technical Education program was the first to offer a credit course in the new Distance Learning classroom in 1998.
The Technical Education Program offers degrees at the Bachelor's & Master's levels. These degrees are for individuals who desire to teach adults in postsecondary education settings or within business and industry as trainers and instructional designers.
Students from various backgrounds (e.g., medical assistants, police officers, accountants, computer trainers) obtain these degrees for the purpose of training others in the skills that are needed to be successful within the workplace.
The major areas of study are adult learning theories, curriculum development, instructional techniques, and the use of technology in instructional design and delivery. Each program offers the opportunity to learn and then apply skills. Individuals will be required to use technology in the classroom.
