Students have many options to pursue design at large through classes and research. Relevant winter and spring courses include:
- Cognitive Consequences of Technology
- Cognitive Design Studio
- Cognitive Ethnography
- Critical Design Practice (Advanced Studies in Cultural Production)
- Culture, Art, and Technology Practicum
- Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts
- Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Design
- Intro to Human-Computer Interaction Design
- Practicum in Professional Web Design
- Software Engineering
- Usability and Information Architecture
Students and faculty from the UCSD campus collaborate on research and teaching in design. Research groups/programs include:
- Distributed Cognition & HCI
- Ubiquitous Computing & Social Dynamics
- Culture, Art, and Technology
- Moxie Center for Student Entrepreneurship
Prospective graduate students should apply to the home department of the faculty they seek as their primary advisor. Once admitted, students will have the opportunity to work with faculty across the university, as research groups and projects commonly span departments.
