Ph.D. Minor in Human-Computer Interaction

Course Requirements for the Ph.D. Minor in HCI (12 credit hours)
Twelve credit hours of study in Human-Computer Interaction are required. Students must take a 3 credit hour introductory graduate course in HCI from the School of Informatics, SLIS L542 Introduction to HCI, or EDUC R685 Human-Computer Interaction Design. In addition, students must take 9 credit hours from at least two departments other than the student's home department. All topical seminar classes must be approved by the student's HCI advisor for application to the minor.

Grades
A minimum of B (3.0) is required in each course that is to count toward the minor.

The range of courses offered is designed to enable students to construct a program for the Ph.D. Minor in HCI that is relevant to their primary research interests. Students taking topics classes must establish, to the satisfaction of the Steering Committee, the relevance of the subject matter to HCI when proposing the inclusion of such courses. Further courses will be added to or removed from the list on an ongoing basis at the discretion of the steering committee.

Dissertation
The student's dissertation must address issues related to human-computer interaction.
