Drexel's College of Computing & Informatics Post-Baccalaureate/Graduate Certificate in Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience Theory & Frontiers program prepares students to work with novel interaction paradigms and specialized HCI/UX skill sets and populations and to engage with advanced theoretical underpinnings of the discipline.
It is ideal for tech professionals who encounter user experience and design problems in the course of their jobs, but who have not had opportunities for formal training.
This certificate can be combined with other certificates and courses to create the following Master of Science degrees:
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Computer Science
Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience (HCI/UX)
Information Systems
While this certificate does not require a technical background, the master’s degree to which you may want to apply might require one. Based on your background and goals, your Academic Advisor will guide you in the selection of courses/certificates and degree programs that are available to you.
Note: Certificates can only be used in pursuit of a master’s degree; they are not a stand-alone credential. To take advantage of a certificate program, you must apply and be admitted to a specific master’s degree program. No official credential will be issued by the University for a completed certificate alone.
Curriculum
IMPORTANT NOTE: Drexel operates on the quarter, not semester, system, offering classes during four 10-week terms throughout the year.
Please visit Drexel’s Course Catalog for a full description of each required and elective course for this program, as well as a sample Plan of Study for the certificate.
