This BS/MS program is designed for undergraduate students interested in pursuing an MS degree in Human-Centered Design. The curriculum allows students to earn BS and MS degrees with potentially 16 fewer credits than if completing the degree programs separately.

The degrees are independent; each is awarded when completed, with specified courses accepted for the MS degree after the BS degree is awarded.

The dual program courses are offered in a variety of delivery formats including face-to-face, evening, mixed-mode and online.
