Program Information:

We are surrounded by design that has been done by people but often not designed with the end user in mind. Whether it is an app that doesn’t make sense, a car dashboard, a physical space or product, we deserve to interact with software, tools and spaces that make sense for us. The Human Experience Design and Interaction (HEDI) program focuses on instructional design, video game design, product design, or multimedia design, all with an emphasis on being human-centered. HEDI has core classes that include design, product/project management, how people learn, and how to visualize and present data to key stakeholders. Students will also specialize in two emphasis areas of their own choosing. Emphasis options include game studies, marketing, new venture management, multimedia, culturally responsive design, product development, and technical communication.
