Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services

Department of Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences

The MS student focuses on core knowledge, best practices, current theories, and research. This program is unique from our other master’s programs because the student learns to conduct original research. These students often go into either academic careers or jobs that require, or benefit from, research skills.  The MS student will follow the USU Plan A format, graduate with research experience, and produce a final research thesis.

The Master of Science degree is available at Utah State University’s main campus or online. The MS degree is available to qualified students with bachelor’s degrees in any field. A minimum of 40 successfully completed credits is required within 6 calendar years. All students must complete the online Responsible Conduct of Research Social and Behavioral Module at gradschool.usu.edu/online-rcr-training/.
