The University of Baltimore has a Master’s degree in Interactive Design and Information Architecture (IDIA), and we are interested in your opinion, as a User Experience Design professional, about the way this program is organized.



The program seeks a balance between theory and practice. Whenever possible, classes partner with real-world clients, giving students practical experiences and solid portfolio pieces. The core courses are designed to provide a broad foundation in interaction design, information architecture, user research, and human-computer interaction theory. The program also requires at least one coding class, so that graduates are better prepared to communicate effectively with developers.



Students then choose an area of specialization (four courses) and complete a six-credit thesis or capstone project.



The survey has nine questions. We appreciate your feedback about the degree program so we may evaluate its effectiveness in the field.
