All students are expected to complete a corporate internship in an HCI-relevant position between their second and third semesters.

The MS-HCI is a four–semester, 36 credit-hour degree. All students take the same core courses, a set of courses related to their chosen specialization (Interative Computing, Industrial Design, Digital Media, or Psychology), a broader set of electives, and complete a master’s project. Elective courses can be in a wide variety of areas, such as Architecture, Music Technology, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Human-Robot Interaction, Human Factors, Management of Technology, Aerospace Engineering and Cognitive Science. Interested students can earn the Management of Technology Certificate from the Scheller College of Business.
