The UI/UX Design certificate emphasizes design and human behavior. This certificate prepares students for User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX) careers. The UI/UX approach has become the standard for developing apps and is commonly employed as a part of the process to implement and update product experiences, ranging from online dating apps, to television/media apps, to navigating driving directions with maps. This is a rapidly growing area of employment that combines social science research skills with aesthetic design. Students develop a skillset in analysis, evaluation, and the implementation of designs that enable product users to have fulfilling interactions with software and virtual environments.

One or more courses taken for this certificate may also count towards the psychology BA or studio art (BFA or BA) programs. Students can also earn the UI/UX Research Certificate by taking two additional courses.
