[IxDA Discuss] So you want to be an IxD - education

People keep mentioning other programs, but I got the feeling that Dan  
Saffer was purposefully omitting most of them as recommendations,  
rather than having left them out as an oversight.

I would be curious to confirm whether that is/is not the case.

I am particular curious if anyone thinks any of the programs in NYC  
have "arrived" as far as IxD go.

NYU's ITP and Parson's Design and Technology would be the 2 that come  
to mind as contenders.  I'm not knocking either program, but I get  
the impression they may not be focused enough on IxD to come up in a  
discussion of interaction design programs.  I realize this is  
somewhat of a dead horse, but I still find it surprising NY seems so  
far behind the curve in HCI and similar programs.  We're no silicon  
alley, but we have a few computers lying around.  :-)
