    San Diego State University has an on-line masters degree in educational technology at a cost around $10,000.

    San Diego State U. has one of the highest regarded masters programs in the field of educational technology and some of the field's best known faculty.

    SDSU

    I agree, the SDSU Educational Technology Department (EDTEC) is exceptional. I'm very famiiliar with the work of Dr Allison Rossett in the EDTEC program, who is highly regarded in the areas of needs assessment and performance technology.

    They also offer an Ed.D. (face-to-face) in conjunction with the University of San Diego. The archaic State Master Plan in California doesn't allow them to grant doctorates except in conjunction with a doctoral level institution - so they use USD, UCSD and Claremont Grad U.

    Re: SDSU

    Ali Rossett is brilliant and very funny. SDSU's doctoral program in educational technology is the one to beat in California (Pepperdine is next). Several CSU's offer joint doctoral programs, but SDSU offers the most. A year or two ago, the CSU system proposed to offer an Ed.D. in educational leadership, but the UC system shot it down (after all, their turf is sacred).

    Re: Re: SDSU

    I wish we had a Governor and Legislature that would take on the battle of revising the State Master Plan to allow the CSU system to grant doctorates. The UC system is not setup for adult working students - they want young full time doctoral students.

    So unless you have the time and money to attend a UC campus full time for a doctorate, you have to attend a private university. Maybe it's a great conspiracy between UC and the private universities. ;-)

    Re: Re: Re: SDSU

    You are right. This is one of the reasons that I ended up finishing my doctorate at a small, private university in California.
