Program Description:

The University of Baltimore’s boundary-pushing M.S. in Interaction Design and Information Architecture program emphasizes the design, development and application of significant information technologies to satisfy human needs and desires. You’ll integrate elements of computer science with a humanities and liberal arts perspective, developing in-demand skills that companies and organizations are avidly seeking. Your professors, many of whom are managing active research projects, will expose you to cutting-edge topics and support you presenting your own work in the competitive national arena. The program’s graduate job-placement rating is 100 percent.
While they are independent programs of study, the project-oriented certificate programs in Information Design and Digital Media Production complement the M.S. in Interaction Design and Information Architecture program and facilitate the transition to further graduate study through, for example, UB's Doctor of Sciences in Information and Interaction Design program.
