The School of Visual Arts MFA in Interaction Design seeks to cultivate interaction design as a discipline and further its visibility as a community of practice. With equal emphasis on theory and practical application, our program provides an environment in which students re-define and re-envision what design means in the context of everyday interactions. The School of Visual Arts MFA in Interaction Design seeks to cultivate interaction design as a discipline and further its visibility as a community of practice. With equal emphasis on theory and practical application, our program provides an environment in which students re-define and re-envision what design means in the context of everyday interactions.

The model for the program engages interdisciplinary components that are central to our definition of interaction design and includes research, human-computer interaction, graphic design, information architecture, interface design, strategy and ubiquitous computing. In projects that span the screen, the device and beyond, we seek to explore designing a range of experiences that traverse visual, conceptual and technical boundaries.
