在这里学什么？

The Master of Science in Information Experience Design (IXD) program is an innovative blend of the Information Science (IS), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and User Experience (UX) disciplines. The IXD program educates students with academic or professional backgrounds in the liberal arts, humanities, and social/behavioral sciences and prepares them for careers in the rapidly growing UX profession, which includes UX Designers, Information Architects, Interaction Designers, UX Researchers, Usability Analysts, and Content Strategists.

With its empathetic, research-based, and human-centered approach to technology design, the IXD program teaches students to be well-rounded UX professionals who are not just strong designers but also skilled researchers, communicators, and strategists.

The IXD program consists of 36 credits (12 three-credit classes): 5 required courses and 7 electives (including at least 1 course from another department at Pratt), which must be completed with a B average or higher. The program is designed to be completed in two years (3 courses per semester) or three years (2 courses per semester). Summer courses may reduce the length of time spent in the program. Please note that international students must be enrolled full-time (3 courses, 9 credits per semester).

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Throughout the IXD program, students will create a digital portfolio to highlight the work they have completed and demonstrate they have met the program’s five student learning outcomes (SLOs):

• Research—Apply appropriate research methods to identify meaningful insights about people's needs, behaviors, and experiences.
• Communication—Compose compelling narratives and convey information to diverse stakeholders using appropriate communication styles (visual, written, and/or oral).
• Tools—Choose and effectively employ industry standard software associated with all phases of the user-centered design process.
• Experience Design—Create quality digital interfaces through an iterative and purposeful user-centered process that incorporates relevant technical, social, and cultural factors.
• Professionalism—Engage with relevant ethical, technical, and practical issues, construct a strong professional identity, and reflect on the role and value of design methods and processes.
