The Fairfield University Educational Technology program welcomes potential candidates from all teaching disciplines as well as those contemplating a career change or an enhancement to their existing professional skills. Both the Master of Arts (MA) and Sixth Year Certificate (SYC) in Educational Technology are designed to create leaders in the field who can model, use, and provide learning experiences to others regarding best technology-infused educational practices. Program candidates often work as teachers, co-teachers, and consultants in schools, agencies, and organizational professional development.

K-12 classroom teachers often add the MA or SYC in Educational Technology to their existing graduate degrees.

The MA in Educational Technology with preparation for K-12 cross endorsement as a School Library Media Specialist is also offered as an option for certified teachers.
