UX

Program

Description

UX is a branch of design that draws people from various disciplines because it impacts nearly every digital product we use. Our UX program helps you break into the industry by teaching you the skills, tools and software employers are hiring for. Over 100 hours, you’ll simulate user interviews, run usability tests, and demonstrate your designs in presentations. You’ll apply the same methods UX professionals use every day, like journey maps and wireframes. You’ll work in Figma from day one and graduate with a portfolio you can build on after classes end.

Choose the accelerated 12-week option to complete the program sooner, or the regular 20-week schedule.
