Entry requirements

Syracuse’s instructional design program is built for professionals and recent graduates from virtually any background who want to design the learning experiences of the modern world. You do not need a degree in education. You need curiosity about how people learn, and the drive to make that process smarter, more effective, and more human. You are a strong candidate if you: Hold a bachelor’s degree in any field—such as business, communications, computer science, human resources, journalism, marketing, psychology, or STEM fields—and want a credential that supercharges what you already know.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
