The Department of Instructional Systems and Workforce Development (ISWD) offers graduate coursework leading to master’s degrees in Technology and Instructional Technology. The master’s programs are offered with a thesis option, requiring a minimum of 30 or 33 semester credit hours respectively and a comprehensive examination; the non-thesis option is also offered. The educational specialist degree may be earned with a major in Education and a concentration in Technology. A doctor of philosophy degree program in Instructional Systems and Workforce Development is also available. For more information, contact the Department of Instructional Systems and Workforce Development.
Admission Criteria
Prerequisites for admission into the graduate program include all the general requirements of the Office of the Graduate School. In addition, scores from all sections of the GRE must be submitted. International students must obtain a minimum TOEFL score of 550 PBT (213 CBT or 79 iBT) or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5.
A student applying for admission into the Department of Instructional Systems and Workforce Development must submit the complete application packet to the Office of the Graduate School no later than:
| Applying For | Domestic Deadline | International Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Summer first 5-week | April 1 | March 1 |
| Summer second 5-week | April 1 | March 1 |
| Summer 10-week | April 1 | March 1 |
| Fall | July 1 | May 1 |
| Spring | November 1 | September 1 |
No applications are accepted after these deadlines for the respective admission semester.
A complete admission packet consists of an application to the graduate degree program, three letters of recommendation (preferably from teachers who can attest to scholarly ability), statement of purpose, official scores from all sections of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended.
Admission criteria for a master’s degree include a minimum 2.75 undergraduate GPA from a four-year accredited institution or a minimum 3.00 graduate GPA. Admission criteria for the educational specialist degree (Ed.S.) include a minimum 3.20 GPA, plus an earned master’s degree from an accredited institution. For the doctoral degree, a minimum 3.40 GPA on previous graduate degree(s) earned from accredited institutions.
Provisional Admission
If a student does not fully meet the admission requirements of the program, it may be possible for that student to be admitted provisionally. If admitted provisionally, the student must attain a 3.00 GPA on the first 9 hours of graduate courses at Mississippi State University after admission to the program. Courses with an S grade, transfer credits, or credits earned while in Unclassified status cannot be used to satisfy this requirement. If a 3.00 GPA is not attained, the student may be dismissed from the graduate program.
Contingent Admission
There are no contingent admissions. The admission packet must be complete and all admission requirements met before admission will be considered.
Academic Performance
Unsatisfactory performance is defined as making more than two grades of C or lower in courses taken for graduate credit or failure to maintain a B average in graduate courses attempted after admission to the program (i.e., program and non-program courses). In addition, failure of the preliminary/comprehensive examination, an unsatisfactory evaluation of a thesis or dissertation, failure of the research defense, or any other failure of a required component of one’s program of study is unsatisfactory performance. Any one of these or a combination of these will constitute a basis for review for dismissal.
Any student in the College of Education making more than two grades of C or lower in courses taken for graduate credit may be forced to withdraw from graduate school upon recommendation of the major professor, the departmental graduate coordinator, and the Dean of the College of Education. [It is the major professor’s responsibility to ensure that any student who has performed unsatisfactorily be recommended for termination from the degree program before the beginning of the subsequent semester.]
If unsatisfactory performance is determined, the graduate coordinator, the major professor, and the dean will review the student’s record and determine a course of action. Appeal of dismissal can be made by submitting a written appeal statement to the graduate coordinator and/or department head. If the dismissal, upon the student’s appeal, is upheld by the graduate coordinator and/or department head, the student can then submit a written appeal to the Dean of the College of Education.
Veterans’ Certificate Program
The Veterans’ Certificate Program is offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The certificate is designed for anyone at any level who would like to serve veterans. Employees of colleges and universities, corporations, government at all levels, and other professionals who are interested in serving veterans should obtain this certificate. As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to veterans, the certificate provides the knowledge, skills, and competencies that individuals will need to support veterans as they transition to civilian life.
The curriculum is designed to increase the capabilities of individuals within the federal and state governments, educational institutions, and private corporations who work with veterans’ issues. Individuals working in the educational benefits area will find this program of particular value. The attainment of the Veterans’ Certificate could be used as a precursor to position advancement within any governmental agency, federal or state, that deals with matters relevant to veterans.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Instructional Systems and Workforce Development (ISWD) is located within the College of Education and is designed to provide students with knowledge of instructional technology, research design methodologies to conduct research, foundations of education, and postsecondary education.
Each student is assigned a major professor and a committee. A formal program of study is developed by the student with the advice and concurrence of the student’s major professor and other committee members no later than the student’s second semester of enrollment. A minimum of 90 semester hours of post-baccalaureate credit is necessary to meet the ISWD doctoral degree. In order for the program to reflect students’ content areas in research and foundation levels, students must take two required research and statistics courses and two required foundations courses from the Department of Instructional Systems and Workforce Development (ISWD). The hours taken in these required classes will serve to meet the requirements for Research, Foundations, and Postsecondary and will not be reflective of the 24-30 hours needed to complete the Technology requirements. Two-thirds or more of the hours on the doctoral program of study, exclusive of dissertation credits, must be in 8000-9000 level courses or their equivalent. Approved 7000 Directed Individual Study courses count toward this requirement. Ordinarily no more than 6 semester hours of graduate credit earned in DIS courses or 6 semester hours of special problem courses may be included on the student’s approved program of study. No more than 9 semester hours of a combination of DIS and special problem courses may be included on the student’s approved program of study. Twenty hours of dissertation research, written and oral preliminary examinations, a dissertation, and an oral examination in defense of the dissertation are required. Minor courses are optional.
All department requirements must be completed, and all College of Education requirement courses must be completed to satisfy degree requirements prior to graduation.
Completion Requirements
All graduate students submitting a thesis or dissertation must attend the thesis/dissertation workshops conducted by the Library for the Department of Instructional Systems and Workforce Development prior to the application for the written comprehensive examination. All students seeking the doctor of philosophy degree must satisfy research skills requirements before taking the written preliminary examination. (Refer to the College of Education Doctoral Student Handbook for options to meet these requirements.)
