Instructional Design Certificate Requirements

K-12 Technology Integration Certificate

IDT offers three 12-credit certificates. The certificates provide minimum competencies in the field of instructional design within a given subset of the field (technology integration, corporate training, or eLearning). Certificates are intended for those already working in some capacity as an instructional designer but who lack an advanced degree in instructional design. Those seeking the full set of professional competencies of an instructional designer across all areas in preparation for entering the field of instructional design are encouraged to apply to one of the IDT master’s programs instead. Courses taken for a certificate may also be transferred into any of the IDT master’s programs at a later date.

What is a graduate certificate?

A graduate certificate is a short series of graduate-level college courses that offer specialized training in a specific industry. UND offers graduate certificate programs focused on education, technology, business, and public administration. You must complete your bachelor’s degree before enrolling in a graduate certificate program.

Graduate certificate courses can sometimes be stacked to meet the requirements for a master’s degree. Reach out to the department for clarification prior to entering a graduate certificate program if your desire is to apply your graduate certificate credits to a master’s degree.
