Pace University's Master of Science (MS) in Human Centered Design (HCD) blends art, design, psychology, and technology in a discipline that focuses on how people interact with machines. Whether they’re building smartphone apps, software for medical systems, business interfaces, or games, the user experience makes or breaks whether or not it’s successful.
Human-centered design exists at the intersection of computer science, information systems, cognitive science, and interaction design. That makes it the perfect program for creative students looking to dip into technology, and for tech lovers to learn about design. This brand new degree has been developed to offer the latest in theory, concepts, and best practices in the UX/IX landscape. With this degree, students will equip themselves with the skills and expertise to become a practitioner, researcher, and leader in the next generation of human-computer interfaces.
The MS in HCD is built from a solid foundation of core courses aimed to train students in the concepts and current practices in the world of user experience and design. A wealth of elective courses enable students to focus on their particular area of interest. Two recommended tracks are available for students who’d like to concentrate in development or design and evaluation.
STEM-classified degree: graduates are eligible for 3 years of Optional Practical Training in the USA.
