Interactive Media Design Majors

I'm looking to get a Bachelor's degree in Interactive Media Design. I already have an Associates in Humanities/Social Sciences. Franklin University has a major but they're kind of a no name school. Does anyone know of a school that offers a program that is based on UI/UX? Thanks!

HCI program: University of Michigan vs. University of Maryland - Thoughts on both programs?

Hi everyone,

I have recently been accepted into two HCI programs at the iSchools at the University of Michigan and the University of Maryland.

I had intended to go to Michigan, since I had thought that Maryland's due date for acceptance was March 9. But it's actually April 6. So now I have a few short days to decide which to go to!

For background, I come from a Psych/English double major with no programming experience, and some self-learned graphic design skills.

Ruminating an idea: Interest in a conference on Interaction Design Education

For the last bit I have been thinking about creating a separate conference that focuses on interaction design education. By no means is this an academic/research conference, but rather a summit, working group, that is interested in tackling the life-long issues of an interaction designer's career. I moved from industry to education because I saw deep issues in the career development of interaction designers, especially at the early stages of formal educaiton and have grown to hear a must wider perspective on the topic.
