Boise State Offers New Graduate Certificate Program in Human Performance Technology

A new graduate certificate in human performance technology will be offered starting fall semester by the Department of Instructional and Performance Technology in the College of Engineering at Boise State University. The Office of the State Board of Education recently approved the new graduate certificate program.

The graduate certificate in HPT is intended for students who want to increase their skills and credentials in HPT without completing a full master’s degree at this time in their careers. The program emphasizes the practical application of process models, tools, and techniques to workplace performance improvement situations.

The 16-credit program will be made up of four existing master’s degree courses (IPT529 Needs Assessment, IPT530 Evaluation Methodology, IPT536 Foundations of IPT, and IPT560 Human Performance) that are delivered both on campus and online.

The four certificate courses would apply if the student chooses to pursue the master’s degree in IPT in the future. For more information call (208) 426-1312 or visit http://ipt.boisestate.edu/hptcertificate.htm.
