Course Overview

With roots in multiple areas of computing, psychology, and design, the human-centered computing degree blends strengths from these varied disciplines to understand the ways in which people use technology, and how technologies can be developed that are more intuitive and usable.

Fundamental to human-centered computing is a focus on humans as individuals and how they behave with technology. Students in this major find themselves at the intersection of computer advancements and human behavior around technology. Topics of consideration include the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems and understanding the ways in which such systems can transform our lives. Given the growing reliance on computing in our everyday lives, technology no longer is the exclusive realm of tech-savvy users; the industry has recognized the need to make software and devices that are usable and desirable to everyone. This major prepares you for careers in industry or to pursue graduate study, offering options for you to specialize in different areas of human-centered computing depending on individual interests in computing, design, or psychology.
