The Learning, Media, & Technology master's program at UMass Amherst prepares students to understand, critique, design, and improve technology- and media-based learning and teaching.

Our students develop a thorough knowledge of learning and instruction theories as well as theories of the design and use of educational technologies and media. They also explore the educational uses and design of a variety of technologies (e.g., robotics systems, computational media, 3D printing, social media, multimedia, and open online courses).

Recent graduates have gone on to positions in K–12, community college, university, organization, and corporate settings as educational media and online learning developers, instructional designers, higher education technology leadership (e.g., Director of Online Teaching & Learning), and technology integration specialists.
