Beschreibung des Programms

Prepare for a Career in User Experience Design with the MAD UX Certificate Program

User experience design is the process of making information systems more people-friendly. Reports show high market demand for skills in user experience design across commercial, nonprofit, educational, government, and other sectors, with 30+% or more job growth, anticipated. A master’s degree is not required to enter the field, but relevant, project-based expertise is.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison User Experience Design Capstone Certificate, or “Mad UX,” teaches you what you need to know to develop as a UX professional. Mad UX combines expertise from two highly ranked UW-Madison academic departments: the Department of Computer Science and its HCI Lab and the UW-Madison iSchool.

MAD UX: The Basics

  • 10 graduate credits;
  • Entirely online- no travel to campus required to complete the program;
  • 1 calendar year (fall, spring, summer);
  • $1200 per credit.

How are your classes delivered?

All classes are completely online and taught by experienced and engaged instructors from UW-Madison’s computer sciences and iSchool programs, combining knowledge and networks from both the computing and information fields.

How long does it take?

One calendar year (fall, spring, summer). You are part of a cohort of learners who complete project-based activities and learn to work effectively as part of a virtual team. You must successfully complete each course in succession to earn your certificate.

What will you learn?

Build the expertise to plan, design, and assess innovative, enjoyable, and successful digital user experiences.

How will you learn?

Our program is high-tech and high-touch. You work on conceptual designs and prototypes with your cohort, with the constant guidance and involvement of your instructors. Form teams around project-based ideas, envision products, design, test, critique, and revise as you learn the tools and techniques of user experience design.
