The User Experience Design Minor program is currently not accepting new students. For further information contact the Engineering and Design Department, Western Washington University, Ross Engineering, 516 High St., Bellingham, WA 98225.

This holistic, multidisciplinary approach introduces the design of user interfaces for digital products, defining their form, behavior, and content. User experience design integrates interaction design, industrial design, information architecture, information design, visual interface design, user assistance design, and user-centered design, ensuring coherence and consistency across all of these design dimensions.

User experience design is a multidisciplinary profession that is still evolving and yet is in high demand. It is a combination of graphic design, industrial design, psychology, computer science and business. It requires big picture, strategic design skills, and the ability to design the very detailed interactions in interface. As such, good UX designers are in very short supply. This minor is intended only for industrial design, psychology, marketing, design and computer science majors only.
