Art and Design

The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) is a master's degree that combines the focused study of traditional graduate degrees (such as the Master of Arts or Master of Science) with the specialized, industry-specific skills you can immediately use in the workplace.

The field of user experience design is concerned with the intersections of user experience, people, design, and technology. The skill set of a UX designer is essential to creative, tech, and business teams. Organizations and businesses have long sought to increase user satisfaction with their products, but in today's digital landscape, there are more opportunities than ever to shape and add value to consumer and user experiences across a multitude of platforms. Organizations need employees trained in designing digital environments. Software and web-based products that provide intuitive, meaningful user experiences can have a significant impact on people's lives. Our program has been designed to provide graduates with a thorough understanding of how to create digital, service, or social-based products and systems that are accessible, intuitive, useful, and aesthetically pleasing.
