You'll learn to create intuitive, functional, and captivating digital products while developing into a versatile User Experience (UX) expert. The Master of Science in Information Experience Design (IXD) program uniquely combines information science (IS), human-computer interaction (HCI), and user experience (UX) fields. This program equips students for thriving careers in the expanding UX industry, preparing them for roles such as UX designers, information architects, interaction designers, UX researchers, usability specialists, and content strategists.
Through its human-focused, research-driven methodology for technology design, the IXD program develops students into comprehensive UX professionals who excel not only in design but also in research, communication, and strategic thinking.
The IXD curriculum shows students how to craft clear, practical, and compelling digital interfaces while shaping them into adaptable UX practitioners. The program welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, with no prior design or technical expertise required.
Unlike UX boot camps, the IXD program offers a rigorous two-year graduate education where students master essential UX competencies while tackling creative, analytical, and ethical problems. During the program, students build a distinctive and robust UX portfolio crucial for launching their professional UX careers.
