The one-year MHCI pioneered user-centered design education. Studio courses immerse you in ethnographic research, inclusive design, and prototyping across web, mobile, XR, and IoT. Interdisciplinary teams partner with companies like Google, Mayo Clinic, and NASA to solve wicked problems—recent projects include accessible financial planning for neurodiverse users and AI co-creation suites for filmmakers.
