Pushing the limits of interaction design

Businesses are hiring HCI graduates to ensure customers have superior experiences with technology, from product design to user interfaces.

Be part of the solution when you earn a Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction from the IU School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI. Our students are committed to enhancing the user experience, designing better ways to help people engage with emerging technologies.

UX influences everything

Prepare to be immersed in a project-based, hands-on user experience environment. By earning a master’s in HCI, you’ll explore emerging field research, learning how to create effective interactive systems for companies in Indiana and worldwide.

Students in our professional, research-focused program gain valuable insight from faculty with real-world expertise in areas including human-centered design methods, social computing research, and the Internet of Things, in collaboration with industry leaders.

Through your classes and Capstone project, you’ll develop the UX research and design skills essential for a professional career in the field.

You can complete the 36-hour MS HCI program in two years.

Looking ahead to interactive careers

Opportunities in Human-Computer Interaction are increasing daily, in fields including voice recognition, information technology, and the Internet of Things.
