The process of applying for and receiving a Master's Degree in ITEC involves completing the five steps outlined below:

1. Students must meet the requirements of the program, which involves completing a minimum of 30 units. Please work with a faculty advisor to develop an approved course of study.
2. Submit a Graduate Approved Program (GAP) the semester before you plan to complete your Culminating Experience (Step #3 and Deadlines below). The GAP lists the specific requirements you must complete before your degree can be awarded, and must be approved by your faculty advisor.
   Fill out your GAP form online via the Graduate Studies Web site and print it out.
   GAP Orientation meetings are held during the third week at the beginning of each semester for ITEC students.
   Check the ITEC announcement blog for current information.
3. Students must demonstrate proficiency in the instructional design process by way of a completing an approved final Culminating Experience, which may be either an ITEC 894 Creative Work project, or an ITEC 895 Field Study.
   Students are also required to fill out the GAP proposal and GAP documentation package.
4. File an Application for Award of the Master's Degree, which is available in the Graduate Studies Office, (GradStop) in ADM 254. This form MUST be completed online and printed for signatures. The Graduate Studies office will NOT ACCEPT handwritten forms, due to difficulty reading handwriting (resulting in errors and graduation delays!). Your GAP and Culminating Experience must both be on file with the Graduate Studies Office prior to applying for the Degree.
5. Complete the College of Education Exit Survey - available online: http://www.sfsu.edu/~coe/coe/gradoffice.html. Use the "Guest account", complete the survey, and print the last page of the survey to verify that you have completed the survey. Turn in the printed page with your Report of Completion.
6. Submit proof of completion of your Culminating Experience Project. Turn in the Report of Completion with proof that you have completed the College of Education exit survey.
