Overview

Technology and your future career prospects are evolving at lightning speeds. Where it was once as simple as pursuing “website design” or “programming,” today’s world offers—and demands—more. To truly succeed in tech, you need creativity, versatility, and an interdisciplinary skillset. You need to be able to see through the eyes of the user and understand projects from start to finish. You need to be a unicorn.

User Experience and Interaction Design at Drexel University helps you get there.

By combining principles from a range of disciplines, UXID gives you the tools not only to understand technology but also the human principles underpinning it. You’ll get exposure to:

User Experience Design (UX)—Researching and advocating for the needs of people who will be using technologies, prototyping digital products, and working with agile methodologies
User Interface and Interaction Design (UI/IXD)—Using tools like Adobe Creative Suite to create visual experiences for technology products
Development—Programming the code (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP/MySQL, etc.) that makes products work in a variety of media (websites, apps, augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things, etc.)
Information Architecture (IA) and Content Strategy—Organizing and planning information systems for digital products
Project Management—Managing workflows to keep teams on track
