Nearly all corporate and academic institutions have an ongoing need to implement new technologies and train their staff on how to utilize these new tools.

“What makes the Instructional Technology so special? The program was customized to me and related to my professional goals. State-of-the-art instructional technology is usually not taught in most other colleges, so I now have pertinent skills that graduates from other programs don’t have. Yes, it is challenging, but it’s a very rewarding program”

“This program, since its inception in the 1980’s has always been well characterized as visionary. Our dedicated instructors teach with the latest technology and, through smaller classes and personal attention, enable students to take a peek at the future and lead others toward what they see. Whether your goal is a promotion, a career change or to enhance the effectiveness of what you already do, our history has shown that we can make it happen.”

“I entered the Instructional Technology graduate program at Chestnut Hill College not knowing what to expect or what or what I wanted to do for a career. I left the College with more skills, knowledge, and friendships than I could ever imagine. The faculty and staff were consistently friendly and experts in their fields. The IT program is one that fosters collaboration, challenge, excitement, and best of all, meaningful relationships. Shortly after completing the program I was offered a job at Lehigh University as an Instructional Technologist.”
