`
`The Integration of computer systems and the Internet Into the working world and
`home life have highlighted the need for professionals who can design human(cid:173)
`computer interfaces that allow people to work intuitively in a wider range of
`contexts than ever before. The M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
`combines coursework in human-computer interaction with theory in allied areas
`such as technical communication, Information design, and cognitive science, to
`help the next generation of designers and researchers meet the challenges
`these new contexts present.
`
`Rensselaer's approach to human-computer interaction differs from other HCI
`programs by being centered In communication rather than computer science.

`M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) - Department of Communication and Media - Rens...
`While the program will provide HCI implementation skills, the focus is on
`understanding and addressing basic problems in human-technology interaction,
`including the support of social interaction. Students will learn about cutting edge
`areas of HCI research through advanced seminars. They will leave the program
`with a portfolio-ready final project that demonstrates the integration ofthe skills
`they've acquired in the program.
`
`Graduates are prepared to work as usability engineers, information architects,
`interaction and interface designers, user experience/HCI designers, or web
`designers, depending on the specific course selections students make.
`
`Testimonials
`
`"The education and support that I received in the HCI Certificate program
`convinced me that Rensselaer was the only school that I should be attending to
`complete my Master's degree. The classes and projects in the program have
`given me real-world experience that I use every day at my job, and that I will
`continue to leverage for a successful career in the field of human-computer
`interaction."

`
`"RPI's program stands out from the majority of HCI programs currently offered
`across the country. It is one of a handful of forward-looking programs that puts
`communication at the center of their vision and curricula. The program weaves
`together a solid base in the theory and practice of technical and professional
`communications, rhetoric, visual communication, design, and media and
`perception studies, and it merges it with other relevant disciplines, such as
`cognitive psychology, computer science, instructional technology, and graphic
`design."
