Both degree-seeking and certificate students should take IPT 536 in their first semester:

  • IPT 536 Foundations of Instructional and Performance Technology (4 credits, required)

The following courses can also be taken with IPT536 in their first semester:

  • IPT 535 Principles of Adult Learning (no prerequisite) (4 credits, required)
  • IPT 530 Evaluation Methodology (corequisite: IPT536) (4 credits, required)
  • IPT 510 Collaborative Online Communication & Learning (no prerequisite) (1 credit, elective)
  • Other electives that do not have prerequisites

It is recommended that new students take only one or two courses, and not more than 8 credits, during their first semester. For example, first-semester students might take IPT 536 only (4 credits), or IPT 536 and IPT 510 (a total of 5 credits). 

Below is the course offering schedule of the 4 courses listed above. Pay attention to the availability of each course on campus and online each semester (also see the 3-year course plan).
