Solve problems creatively
Our Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction Design (HCI/d) is really a unique graduate experience that produces design experts who will shape the way forward for design. It’s a rigorous two-year program that teaches students to shape new media, interactive tools, artifacts, and systems with techniques that:
- Lead engaging user encounters
- Serve the necessity of stakeholders
- Facilitate communication
- Enrich the lives of those with them
You’ll complete your degree having a two-semester capstone project, in which you goes in-depth on the design problem of your liking.
