Admission to the Ed Tech Program

1. A BA or BS from an accredited university
2. A 2.75 grade point average in the last 60 semester or 90 quarter units
3. Meet English Language Proficiency (opens in new tab) if the Bachelor's degree was not earned at an accredited college/university where English is the only language of instruction.

Make sure that you meet all admissions deadlines (opens in new tab). 

Tips for finding the correct deadline:

• Choose the semester you intent to begin
• Choose Graduate Degree Programs (Masters/Doctorates)
  • Educational Technology - Track 1: Educational Teachnology Leadership (hybrid - fall semester start dates)
  • Educational Technology - Track 2: E-Learning and New Media Design (online - spring semester start dates)
• Choose Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (Certificate)
  • Computer Applications in Schools (hybrid - fall semester start dates)
  • Online Teaching and Learning (online - fall semester start dates)

1. Current resume or vita (2 pages maximum)
2. Unofficial transcripts (bachelors degree and any universities attended after you received your BA or BS) - current or former Cal State LA students still need to submit unofficial transcripts
3. Personal Statement - provide no more than a one page response to each of the following:
   • A statement of career purpose that describes your reasons for pursuing the M.A. in Educational Technology.
   • What are your previous experiences with technology in your work and personal life?
   • What strengths do you bring that will enable you to be successful in this program?

Note: Even though you may be a current student at Cal State LA you must still follow these steps.

Unofficial transcripts

What is an unofficial transcript?

• a PDF of your transcript taken from a website (like GET)
• a scanned copy of a transcript - which was probably official transcript until the seal was broken on the envelope

How do I scan my transcript if I don't own a scanner?

• many phone cameras have the scan option in them
• Adobe scan phone app
• PhotoScan phone app
• or look in your phone's app store for scanner apps

Official Transcripts

All the information about sending transcripts and how to send them can be found on the Submitting Documents (opens in new tab) page. They have a drop down menu to help you find the information. There are instructions for submitting electronic transcripts and make sure to look for the 'Where to send/submit academic documents for Admissions' (opens in new tab) drop down.

Tuition costs can be found at the Student and Finance Service Center (opens in new tab). Once you're on the Student and Finance Service Center page, the menu on the left will direct you to the current fees for the semesters listed.
