Hofstra University has recently unveiled its new Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) programs in Human Factors and Usability Studies. The launch event, held last month, was a day filled with engaging presentations and discussions, showcasing the interdisciplinary nature of the program.
The curriculum combines elements of engineering, computer science, psychology, and human-centered design, preparing students to understand and improve the interaction between people and technology. A highlight of the event was a panel featuring alumni who are currently working in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) fields. They shared valuable insights about their careers and the importance of usability in product design.
This new degree program aims to equip students with the skills needed to analyze user needs and create effective solutions that enhance the user experience. As technology continues to evolve, the demand for professionals in this area is expected to grow, making this program a timely addition to Hofstra's academic offerings.
