Learn why Design for Experience named us the Best Academic Program »

The interaction design program brings together bright, intelligent, and promising
students from around the world and across the United States. The program faculty
includes members who are practitioners, thinkers, and leaders in the field. Our
alumni are working in startups, in large corporations, in non-profits, in consulting
agencies, and game companies.

The field of design and technology is ever changing and shifting. We seek to
prepare our students to have the skills, methods, practices, and mindset to meet
this unpredictable future and whatever challenges and opportunities it brings.
Interaction designers are also known as user experience designers, experience
designers, and product designers. The work we do is invisible to most, but it
is powerful and impactful, often at a massive scale. Interaction designers are
responsible for creating and designing the technology you are familiar with—the
things you interact with everyday such as your smartphone, tablet, laptop, even
your smart speaker device, or car.

We design the software, web and mobile experiences you use, like social
media, productivity, creative tools, and experiences that cut across digital & physical spaces.

The work of interaction designers also shows up where you might not expect it.
Interaction designers help create the products and services that are in stores,
restaurants, ecommerce, online content and news outlets, medical centers,
schools, your home and increasingly places you might not have thought like
non-profits, the government and inside corporations.

• To embrace the future!
• To teach systems thinking with a humanistic approach—we design
for people.
• To explore new technologies and cultural trends across evolving
contexts.
• And to teach that technology is a powerful medium to be used
responsibly.
