Students & Alumni
The Master of Science program in Learning Design and Technology draws students from varied backgrounds. Many are trained in education or behavioral sciences, engineering, or one of the design disciplines. They come from diverse communities across the U.S. and around the world. They bring their rich experiences and viewpoints to the LDT community, where they share a common curiosity, creativity, and passion for improving learning experiences.
