The University of Montevallo has been named the best school in the state and one of the top schools in the southeast for graduate programs in instructional media design, specifically instructional technology.

Teaching Degree Search recently released its 2021  Best Teaching Schools  rankings, and UM was named the best instructional media design school in Alabama, the best instructional media design graduate school in Alabama and one of the top 10 instructional media design schools in the southeast.
