New MFA in Interaction Design Offered at SVA in Fall 2009

The School of Visual Arts “bridges design and digital media” with their newly announced MFA degree program in Interaction Design. Liz Danzico will serve as the chair for the new program. Jason Santa Maria, Khoi Vinh, and Jeffrey Zeldman will be part of the faculty staff.

“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. Enrollment will be open to designers and non-designers alike—a diverse group of professionals interested in exploring the overlap between digital media and the landmark contemporary design practices that define SVA.”
