Learning Design and Technology

The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the University of North Florida. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Learning, Design & Technology (LDT) program prepares students to enter the field of learning design and training with the opportunity to acquire core competencies and professional skills through engaging curricula. The program not only addresses critical skills for those entering the field but provides students with opportunities for applied learning in the designing training and educational environments infused with technology. The Learning Design and Technology degree prepares students to enter the dynamic field of designing learning experiences to improve instructional outcomes. Students will work with leaders in the field while transforming learning design along with their community of peers. The program provides a pathway for students to integrate evidence-based practice through design and delivery of high-quality design. Students will engage in research and industry-based internships. Students explore emerging technologies and best practices in diverse learning environments to support an emerging diverse workforce. Upon graduation from this program, graduates will have the experience necessary to become difference makers in learning professional careers that support workplace development and inclusive learning design. For more information visit the Learning Design and Technology webpage.

Career Planning
Engaging in career planning activities is significant to student success. UNF offers customized career centers to deliver targeted programs, events, services and resources. First-Year and Exploratory students should visit the Career Services webpage and Sophomore or higher level students with a declared COEHS major should visit the Office of Academic Support and Information Services (OASIS) Career Services webpage.

Students should refer to their personalized Degree Evaluation provided by an academic advisor and to other university resources for additional university and college-specific policies. Visit the undergraduate university catalog for more information.

Summer terms may be utilized to facilitate graduation in four years.
