Human Computer Interaction Degree at University of Advancing Technology
Transform the way we interact with technology
We rely on computers to make life easier, keep us informed and keep us connected to what we know and who we love. The study and practice of designing the interplay between man and machine transforms the human computer interaction experience. Computers are an omni-present and invaluable tool that empowers users and facilitates human-to-human communication.
University of Advancing Technology offers a Bachelor of Science in Human Computer Interaction (HCI), which prepares students with real-world skills to tackle the evolution of IoT and UX infused hardware, software, mobile and more.
The Human Computer Interaction Degree incorporates real world applications including novel uses of computer technologies in education, intelligent interfaces, virtual and augmented reality environments, wearable mobile and ubiquitous computing and new I/O devices. Students in the HCI Degree program will develop use cases with software and devices, create virtual environments, develop digital assets, and synthesize the human elements of technology.
