Experience Design

Overview

Experience Design from Miami University has been designed for distance learning, enabling learners who can not physically leave the working world or their families while in graduate school to level up or change their careers. 

The curricular design of the xdMFA reflects the emerging nature of Experience Design and the rapidly changing realities of contemporary design practice, while still facilitating a learning experience that’s "higher-touch" than a purely online program.

Graduates with Experience Design from Miami University will be able to:

• Conduct Research: develop and conduct in-depth research on human and system behavior for design innovation.

• Embrace Complexity: analyze and visualize real and perceived factors at a systemic level.

• Apply Theory: apply a wide range of theories and frameworks to experience-centered design processes.

• Build Productive Partnerships: develop outcomes with stakeholders via engaging and empowering co-creative processes.

• Implement Detailed Design: create design prototypes and plans with a high degree of formal and functional detail.

• Promote Cultural Alignment: Create culturally relevant design outcomes informed by research.

• Generate Effective Reporting: Report design analyses and recommendations effectively for a wide range of audiences.
