- Description
- The human-computer interaction master's degree provides the knowledge and skills necessary for conceptualizing, designing, implementing, and evaluating software applications and computing technologies for the benefit of the user, whether the user is an individual, a group, an organization, or a society. Human, technological, and organizational concerns are interwoven throughout the curriculum and addressed in team- and project-based learning experiences. With an emphasis on making computing technologies more user-friendly, human-computer interaction (HCI) has emerged as a dynamic, multifaceted area of study. The curriculum’s core courses provide knowledge and skills in the conceptual and methodological frameworks of HCI and HCI research. Course work emphasis is on understanding human cognition as it applies to information systems plus interaction design, interface prototyping, and usability evaluation. You can also select two elective courses, and in select cases, students can petition for approval to include a course complementary to the degree program as an elective. You can also complete two courses in any of the application domain areas. A special topics option is also available with faculty approval for individuals with an interest in other HCI-related areas. You may also complete a thesis or capstone project. This experience is meant to be an empirical study of a HCI problem, which can be the development of a software product through user-centered design processes.
