To help meet the demand for more digital instruction and instructional technology experts, UNT is expanding its doctoral degree program in educational computing to include an online option beginning in summer 2012.

Offered by the Department of Learning Technologies, the online degree will be the first online Ph.D. at UNT and the first online doctoral degree in educational computing or instructional technology at a Texas university.

Careers for graduates of the program include technology coordinators, directors of distance education, instructional designers and educators.
