Technical Education - Online

Teach the Skills of Tomorrow

The rapid pace of technological change has made technical educators a critical resource for Michigan's students and industries. By providing an immersive experience that transfers in-depth knowledge and skill, technical educators expand the opportunities available to their students and make a lasting contribution to the productivity of our state and our world. 

It's one thing to master a skill, it's another thing entirely to teach that skill. Our blend of professional education, field experience and liberal arts courses will leave you uniquely prepared to make a positive impact in the lives of your students.

The program is run in cohorts which begin with an intensive two-week summer semester in face-to-face format. The program continues in the Fall and Spring terms with course work offered in an online format and pre-teaching field experiences. Students then return to campus for another one-two week intensive summer session for additional face-to-face course work.
