MFA in Interaction Design Offered at SVA in Fall 2009A new advanced degree program focused on the design and business of digital media will be offered at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), New York City, beginning in the fall of 2009.
An MFA in Interaction Design will focus on the critical role of the designer in creating useful and usable digital products and services.
The department will be chaired by Liz Danzico, an expert in information architecture and usability, who conceived the program with Steven Heller, a design historian, New York Times columnist, and co-chair of the MFA Design Department at SVA.
"In its most basic form, interaction design involves a conversation between a person and an interface," says Danzico.
"Whether it's a Web site, a mobile phone or a kiosk at the airport, great interaction design starts with an understanding of people."
The MFA program will engage students in concepts central to interaction design, including design research, human-computer interaction, interface design, graphic design, information architecture, and ubiquitous computing.
The two-year, 60-credit program will provide an environment where students can explore designing a range of experiences that cross visual, conceptual, and technical boundaries.
Working in interdisciplinary teams, students will work in the field and in the studio to develop practical design solutions to real-world problems.
