[IxDA Discuss] Best schools for HCI degrees?

[Josh Evnin]

As a graduate of Indiana University's Human-Computer Interaction/Design
Master's Degree program, I am obliged to share my experience as a student
there. IU's HCI/d curriculum based on design school philosophies, and offers
classes in traditional and non-traditional HCI topics. The professors are
caring and brilliant, students are made to feel that they really have a
place in the program and that they are studying to carry out an important
role in an increasingly technology-centered society. The final capstone
project gives each student the opportunity to display the techniques they
have learned in the program. I swear they aren't paying me to say this...but
I wouldn't trade my IU HCI/d education for the world.
