The Center for Excellence in Education offers a wide variety of master's and doctorate programs for students looking to specialize in the education field. The educational technology program is growing rapidly, so rapidly in fact that NAU is having troubles keeping up with demand. Technology in an inescapable reality of almost every aspect of our daily lives and has begun to surface in the schools.
Some states require teachers to have computer education coursework.
Many Arizona school districts look for computer training on transcripts as well. The program is mainly directed toward K-12 education. The students are taught research and learning theory including ways of enhancing their practice of theory. When a student goes for a job and says they have a degree from NAU we want it to mean something. We want it to mean that they are qualified for the job.
