Overview

Gain an understanding of computing that is critical in business, healthcare, science, design and other areas of our information-driven society. Computing knowledge and computing technology also contribute to resolving major issues in an increasingly complex world. Design proposes alternative futures and creates new choices using principles and processes to create, compose, and construct meaning. Students in the Design and Computer Science program at Northeastern University often have an interest in human-centered design methods used in developing digital interfaces and applications that allow audiences to take an active role to achieve meaningful goals. Seeking a broad understanding of principles and systems of perception, communication, and action, their work connects people to people and people to information and environments.
