Course Details

B.A. and Sc. Four-year - Interactive Systems Design

Course Description

The goal of this B.A. & Sc. program is to train students in all aspects of the design and development of interactive systems. Interactive systems are now a ubiquitous part of people's lives - from web applications to games to embedded devices - and the design and usability of these systems is having an increasingly large effect on the quality of people's relationship to technology. The B.A. & Sc. program combines courses in Art and Art History, Psychology, and Computer Science, and these courses will provide knowledge and skills in several critical areas: principles of visual communication; critical approaches to visual systems; fundamentals of human perception, memory, and cognition; and the principles of computation and programming needed to design, build, and evaluate games and interactive systems. Students who complete the B.A. & Sc. program will be in demand in several industry sectors. The combined training in art, psychology, and computer science prepares students well for jobs in web design, interface development, game design, usability testing, and front-end requirements analysis.
