The Master of Arts degree program in Education, Curriculum and Instruction, with a focus on Instructional Technology (ITMA) offered through the Instructional Design and Technology program at Virginia Tech is designed to meet the needs of professional educators in K-12 schools, community colleges, and higher education, as well as corporate trainers and other instructional development professionals outside of the academic realm. The focus of the program is on the creation of effective solutions to support learning and improved performance. Individual professional experiences are highly valued and will form the basis for most of the projects developed throughout the program.
