In the age of smartphones and other high-tech products, interaction design has become one of the most crucial unsung occupations. Most consumers would not be able to explain it, but the people who design our interfaces, physical products, and digital and analog tools shape our lives daily. Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience (UX) Design, and Interaction Design are new frontiers for higher education, as well, with new degree programs being developed every year for the next class of interaction professionals. For the information of new college students, career-changing professionals, and others, Value Colleges has put together their ranking of the Top 50 Best Value Interaction Design/UX/HCI Graduate Degrees for 2018.
