Overview

Explore our programs

The Department of Technology offers several completely online options, including Technology Education, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and STEM Education.

Technology Education and STEM Education options are based on the Standards for Technological Literacy, Common Core, and Next Generation Science Standards. Paths to certificate/endorsement or licensure may include on-campus or online delivery of courses. The program has the flexibility to be offered as a four-year degree or may include a Technology Education content major only to fill a deficiency for endorsement or licensure as per requirements in your home state.

The CTE major prepares you for teaching positions in school CTE programs, post-secondary technical programs, and private technical colleges. The CTE composite major allows you to transfer in your associate degree and/or experience and teach in trade, industry, technical, or health service areas such as automotive technology, construction technology, electronics, health careers, and welding. The degree requirements may also include full certification by the North Dakota Department of Career and Technical Education for trade, industry, technical, and health education teachers. Non-teaching program graduates may seek entrepreneurial careers in the private sector.
