The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) master’s degree program focuses on the rapidly growing discipline called Human-Computer Interaction. HCI practitioners are involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of computer interfaces that are accessible and easy for people to use. This degree integrates courses in computer science, graphic design, psychology, and Human-Computer Interaction to provide a broad understanding of the discipline.
The program has five phases, with each phase preparing the student for the subsequent phase.
The master’s degree program consists of:
-
Prerequisite Courses
-
Fundamentals Courses
-
Core Courses
-
Advanced Phase Courses
-
Capstone Course
Upon acceptance into the master’s degree program, the student will meet with a faculty advisor to discuss Prerequisite courses. The Prerequisite courses are intended to ensure that all students enter graduate courses with an equivalent background. The Fundamental courses offer knowledge in the multiple disciplines that contribute to HCI. Students in the Core courses acquire an understanding of the technological and theoretical foundations, and the Advanced Phase provides students the opportunity to study specialized topics in greater depth. This phase adds depth to the work completed in the previous phases. The degree culminates in the experience of the Capstone Course where students take a real-life problem from design through implementation and usability testing.
