Interaction Design

Forms

The new MA in Interaction will officially launch in January, 2008. The application process is currently underway.

The creation of the Master of Arts in interaction design reflects a long-range plan that was formulated during the 2002-03 school year, a plan that included the appointment of a senior professor in interaction design. This new program is tailored for working professionals. It will draw upon the latest technologies and valuable real-world experience of industry experts.

Currently there are no programs similar to the MA in interaction design in the immediate region. KU becomes the regional leader by offering this graduate program.

Students enrolling in interaction design will be given the chance to enhance their design business skills through the study of how products, services and systems interface with users. Students will learn how to advance the principles, practices and profession of interaction design as a tool of business strategy.

Some courses will be offered at the Edwards Campus in Kansas City to enable those students who might be working professionals to participate in the program.
