The Training and Development sequence develops skills in planning, implementing, and evaluating technical training programs for business, industry, and post-secondary education. Graduates work as technical trainers and managers of training.
All graduate students must complete the core classes, required classes, and electives (depending on their degree option).
All Technology master's students must take these classes.
To learn more about each course, the prerequisites, and any additional degree requirements, we suggest going to the Graduate Catalog.
