- Why should I consider ESU for a Master's Program? The hallmark of ESU's Instructional Technology Program -
Students become proficient using technologies as well as the theory and purpose behind it use. The Instructional Technology Masters' programs have a large focus. In many other universities, the student learns the theory and the instructional design process. Unlike the other programs, ESU focuses on learning the way to use the technology. Professors help you learn the new computer programs so that you confidently implement technology.
