Human-Computer Interaction, MS•  January 2015 - August 2018

The Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction prepares students to ideate, design, implement, and evaluate computer-based technologies so they are useful and usable for end users. This interdisciplinary degree integrates concepts and methods from computer science, graphic design, and the social sciences. Drawing upon these concepts and methods, students learn user-centered, and participatory design approaches as they create information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as dynamic web sites, mobile apps, and desktop applications. Particular emphasis is given to ICT evaluation, exploratory user research, information architecture, interaction design, and prototype development.
