Specialization Tracks

The HCI major further requires 12 credits in one of the following specialization tracks. Each track emphasizes a significant aspect of HCI and allows the student further depth in these areas. The specialization track is a sequence of four (300/400-level) courses, focusing on an area and/or subject relevant to the methodologies of, the design of, or the application of computing systems. The specialization courses must form a coherent unit, should be chosen from a set of courses complementary to the courses required for this major, and must be approved by the faculty adviser. The following specialization tracks are offered:

  •  Learning Systems: Human learning and the systems and technology to support learning and educational processes.
  •  Human Systems: Groups and organizations and their use of information and computer applications.
  •  Applications Development: Further studies of the technology for development of applications. Recommended for students aiming to work in small organizations or end user units where the designer also may be the implementer.
  •  Publishing and Multimedia: Further studies of the technology involving the production of material in multi- media forms and specialized areas such as graphics and data visualization.
  •  Communications, Networks, and the Web: Further studies of the technology involving the nature of applications in communication environments and the relationship of design to groups, communities, and organizations.
  •  Individualized Study: Any possible area of computer application of particular interest to the student (also for students with graduate school objectives in a specific field).  Must be developed with the approval of the department adviser.
