• New Instructional Design Certificates from the School of Continuing and Professional Studies!

  The School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) is now offering two new Instructional Design (ID) graduate-level certificates as part of our Master of Professional Studies (MPS) program. Their two fully online graduate ID certificates have been developed in partnership with the School of Education, the Office of Online Learning, the Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy, and the Instructional Technology and Research Support group. These certificates are intended for existing faculty to augment their current skills in the design and development of online and in-person courses – both of which benefit from ID principles and practices.
