Bentley's Human Factors in Information Design (HFID) graduate program is an accelerator for successful careers in user experience (UX) research and design, customer experience (CX), and product management.
Students master the world of experience design by exploring the digital, physical, virtual and augmented reality, multi-modal, generative AI, and haptic realms. To achieve this, students build a deep understanding of the human mind and behavior. This knowledge is then considered and applied to the experience design process: problem exploration, concepting, narrowing solutions, low- and high-fidelity prototyping, visual design, content strategy, and interactive design. Interwoven throughout is a human-centered approach where students master ethnography, observational work, interviews, and formative and summative usability testing as necessary inputs to creating experiences.
Upon program completion, students gain the skills to both contribute to and lead the creation of ethical, inclusive, world-ready products and experiences that deliver business and societal impact. Graduates with human-centered design skills are sought after by top organizations across a variety of industries, from cutting-edge tech startups, to consumer and medical industries, to the Fortune 500.
