General requirements

A portfolio of your prior work will greatly help distinguish your application for the HCI/d program. Portfolios do not necessarily need to include only HCI or design work samples—they may include any sort of samples of your prior work as described below. We accept many students from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds based on the quality of prior work, rather than the specific focus or area. Many excellent students begin the program without a background in HCI or design, and many excellent students do have prior HCI or design experience
