HCD Masters UCI, USC, Bentley, and Parsons
Hi everyone, for bg I am already working as an associate Web Designer with a BFA in Graphic Design and want to grow towards a HCD Director/Design Strategy Director (specialize in HCD ideally). I want to use my creative background towards innovative executive design decisions, I love working alongside other designers/creatives.
my masters is covered up to a certain amount however I must remain an employee, therefore I am strictly applying to online programs and prefer part time flexibility.
I have been accepted to:
USC MS Integrated Design Business and Technology
UC Irvine Masters of Human-Computer Interaction & Design
Parsons MS Strategic Design and Management
Bentley MS Human Factors in Information Design
I’ve done a lot of research on the schools and have taken time to meet with all of them. If anyone has any testimonials to these programs it would be so appreciated. I really thrive in a competitive environment, value mentorship, and again love to be alongside likeminded designers and creatives.
Top choice right now is Bentley, because of flexibility and it seems it checks a lot of the boxes for me.
If you have suggestions for additional online Masters please send them my way! As I spoke to the schools I may be able to answer some questions as well on curriculum structure if anyone who is also seeking their masters has questions
