Program description
Degree awarded: PHD  Educational Technology (Arts, Media and Engineering)

The educational technology Ph.D. program focuses on the design, development and evaluation of instructional systems and on educational technology applications to support learning. The doctoral program emphasizes research using educational technology in applied settings and prepares students for a variety of professional positions. Graduates are typically employed as university faculty, educational technologists in universities, community colleges and schools, or as training managers in corporate settings.

Arts, media and engineering (AME) is a concentration in the educational technology Ph.D. The AME concentration provides graduate students with:

  • Hands-on investigation of current issues in digital media research and development.
  • Lead roles in collaborative, interdisciplinary development of novel experiential media systems for education.
  • The opportunity for training that combines solid knowledge in their discipline with interdisciplinary knowledge in digital media.
  • Participation in high-end interdisciplinary media research.

For more information on AME, please visit the program website, http://ame.asu.edu/.

Degree requirements

84 credit hours, a written comprehensive exam, a prospectus and a dissertation

A minimum of 84 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree is required. At least 54 of these hours must be taken at Arizona State University after admission to the Ph.D. program. The following course work is required for all students in the educational technology doctoral program:

  • Advanced Instructional Development.
  • Design and development of instruction.
  • Educational evaluation.
  • Foundations and issues in educational technology.
  • Introduction to date analysis.
  • Multiple regression/correlation.
  • Research in educational technology.

One year full-time in residency, a research publication and a written comprehensive examination are required.

The concentration assumes the student enters with a master's degree in educational technology or a related field; if the student's master's degree is not in educational technology, the advisor will work with the student to identify course deficiencies. The AME concentration requires that about one third of the course credit be taken from AME. Furthermore the AME concentration requires that about half of the research/dissertation credit hours are also taken from AME. Research and dissertation credits for all AME concentration students will be related to work on interdisciplinary experiential media projects from a common research agenda.

Admission requirements

General university admission requirements:

All students are required to meet general university admission requirements.
U.S. applicants | International applicants | English proficiency

All applicants must submit the Graduate College online application. Applicants to the concentration must complete the educational technology program application and provide the additional materials required for the application to an AME concentration. The complete package is submitted to educational technology. A student must first be admitted to the educational technology doctoral degree program, and then his or her application will be considered by the AME admissions committee.

Educational technology admissions criteria apply for admittance into the Ph.D. program.

After an AME concentration applicant is admitted into the educational technology Ph.D. program, the faculty will then decide if the person also meets the digital media related requirements for admission into the concentration.

What are accelerated programs?
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.

3 year programs

These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.

Accelerated master's

These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
What are concurrent programs?
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
What are joint programs?
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.

What constitutes a new program?
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the “New Programs” option.
What are online programs?
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
