Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, we know you may be faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to resume your classes this fall. We want you to know that your safety and well-being are our highest priority, and we want to do everything possible to support your academic journey here at UBalt.

Therefore, all programs in the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences will be offering all classes in an online format for fall 2020. That means that in addition to the designated online courses, all of our face-to-face in-person courses will also be delivered virtually, many in real-time via Zoom.

Our online courses offer the same content, rigor and collaboration between faculty and students as you would find in a face-to-face class on campus. And our professors have extensive experience teaching online. Furthermore, we offer an array of technology tools to support you in your online studies.

The benefit of online courses is that you can participate from anywhere with an internet connection without needing to travel to campus. So rest assured that you can continue your academic journey with us this fall safely and with minimal disruption.

M.S. in Interaction Design and Information Architecture

This 36-credit Master of Science program emphasizes the design, development and application of significant information technologies to satisfy human needs and desires. Imagine, design and build interactive systems to address needs and interests that humankind is only beginning to recognize. You’ll complete 30 credits of coursework and a 6-credit project or thesis—and you can do it entirely online. Plus, this fully online program qualifies for regional in-state tuition.

Graduate Certificate in User Experience (UX) Design

Careers often require additional education to move ahead, but not everyone has the time and resources to earn more degrees. That's where this 12-credit graduate certificate program comes in. You'll learn how to create pathways through an information space; promote a user experience that balances the goals of businesses, the demands of content and the needs of users; and develop, design, produce and manage a range of electronic information resources.
