Fully Online Program

The MIST Fully Online Program is a 4 semester, 16 month long graduate program that emphasizes the use of instructional technology in a variety of learning and training environments.

The Fully Online Program, is nearly identical to the MIST Blended program (sharing the same curriculum and faculty) with the key difference being that this program requires zero time on campus with orientation sessions taking place online using Zoom.

However, students are always welcome to come make use of the campus facilities or meet with faculty in person if that is desired!

Course Progression

Much like the Blended Program, the curriculum is designed in a way that both novices to the world of instructional design, and its respective software and skills, and seasoned Instructional Designers can benefit from our program. In short, no specific student background is necessarily expected, but an interest in training, teaching, educational technology, web design and development, alongside audio and visual production is of great help in ultimately succeeding in our program.

A full list of courses can be found in the MIST course catalog.

  • Students develop a unique component of their capstone project during each class. The diagram below outlines how the Capstone project progress from conceptual idea to completed project, for both full-time and part-time students.
