The courses in the Prerequisite Phase for the MS in Human-Computer Interaction are listed below. Students who intend to take implementation courses at the graduate level are encouraged to take CSC 212 and the graduate-level database course (CSC 449).
IT 130 The Internet and the Web
IT 223 Data Analysis
CSC 211 Programming in Java I
*CSC 212 Programming in Java II
or IT 240 Introduction to Desktop Databases
IT 236 User Interface Development
HCI 402 Foundations of Digital Design
*In place of CSC 211 and CSC 212, students may take CSC 396. CSC 224 is also a substitute for CSC 211 and 212 if students have prior programming experience.
By taking these courses and receiving a grade of a B- or better in each, the student will have completed the requirements of the Prerequisite Phase. All or part of the Prerequisite Phase may be waived if a student has the equivalent academic background. Alternatively, students with practical experience may complete a Graduate Assessment Examination (GAE) to show competency in a prerequisite. The student must submit an online Change of Status request when the Prerequisite Phase is completed to inform the Student Services offices that the block can be removed. The online request must be submitted two weeks before the student intends to register for graduate level classes. The student will then be considered a fully admitted student, and may pass to the Graduate Phase of the program. Students may submit the Change of Status request by logging in to MyCTI.
