Top Colleges for UX Design?

I'm really into user experience design and want to focus on it in college. Does anyone know which schools have the best programs for UX design?

a year ago

Sure, there are several universities that are renowned for their programs in User Experience (UX) Design. Here are a few you might consider:

1. Carnegie Mellon University: The Human-Computer Interaction Institute offers a Bachelor of Science in Human-Computer Interaction, which includes UX design and research.

2. University of Washington: The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering offers a Bachelor's degree in Human Centered Design & Engineering with a concentration on Human-Computer Interaction & Design.

3. Stanford University: While they don't have a dedicated UX program, Stanford’s Symbolic Systems program, which combines elements of computer science, psychology, and philosophy, is a great fit for someone interested in UX design.

4. Rochester Institute of Technology: RIT’s New Media Design program is another great option. It features a blend of design and technology, giving students the skills to innovate in the realm of UX.

5. University of California, San Diego: UCSD offers a Cognitive Science major with a specialization in Human-Computer Interaction that is also UX centric.

6. University of Michigan: Michigan’s School of Information offers a Bachelor of Science in Information with a focus on User Experience Design.

While choosing a program, remember to also consider factors like faculty, class sizes, location, and the university culture. You might want to reach out to current students or alumni to get first-hand feedback about their experiences too.
