How to Apply
A Flexible Education
The UNT M.A. in Interaction Design, IXD, program offers courses for full- and part-time students. Students can complete an M.A. in under 16 months, receive a minor, or take individual courses to augment a graduate degree in a related field. The program is not designated as a STEM program. Individuals and organizations interested in IXD courses for professional development can also customize an educational plan or take single courses without working toward the full M.A. degree.
