Bridge the gap between design and software development. Create dynamic designs and implement them with code for mobile apps, web apps, and other forms of electronic media.
User interface (UI) design is an essential element of modern application development.
Mobile apps, web apps, and other forms of electronic media rely upon the skills of UI designers to make human-computer interfaces intuitive and approachable. Our UI Design & Implementation major bridges the gap between design and software development, so you can both create designs and implement them in code.
Students in the UI Design & Implementation minor will take three courses in design and three courses in computer science, so you can feel confident in both skill sets.
Upon completion of this minor, you’ll be able to:
Students take three courses across VCD & IXD to complete the 50% of the minor that is focused on design. Students may use either VCD 100, VCD 111, GAA-105, OR GMD-100 to complete the sequence.
Students complete 50% of the minor through computer science courses focused on getting them to the point of being able to implement their designs. Student can take either the CSI 140, CSI 240 introductory programming sequence in C++ OR the CSI 160, CSI 260 introductory programming sequence in Python. They then culminate their experience taking either CSI 318 iOS Development OR CSI 319 Android Development OR CSI 400 Human-Computer Interaction, for a total of 3 courses.
