Off-Campus Program Delivery:
The courses required for the MA degree in Educational Media
with a concentration in Instructional Technology Specialist/Computers
will be delivered to the designated off-campus site. Appalachian
State University faculty will teach each course; and, a
combination of instructional strategies and course delivery
systems may be employed. The modes of delivery may include:
the instructor's being present at the site, web-based instruction,
and/or live interactive two-way, audio-video sessions via
the North Carolina Information Highway (NCIH) network. Generally,
two courses will be provided each term. Face-to-face courses
will be conducted either during the evenings (e.g., 5:00-8:00
pm one evening a week for 15 weeks) or on selected Saturdays. The program will
be cohort-based, meaning the group of identified students
who enter this program will begin together and continue
together through the specified sequence of required courses
leading to the degree. The courses in each cohort will be
offered only once, so a student must be prepared to take
the courses as they are made available.
Requirements for Admission:
In order to be considered for admission to this program,
an individual must possess a bachelor's degree from an accredited
college or university and hold a NC "A" teaching
license or the equivalent from another state. In addition
to the application form, applicants must present Graduate
Record Exam (GRE) scores or Miller Analogies Test (MAT)

will be selected based upon the strength of her/his undergraduate
career, GRE or MAT test scores, and the endorsements expressed
in the letters of recommendation.
