INTERACTION DESIGN VER 2 - TEST
BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS | BACHELOR OF ARTS + MINOR
Shape new technologies and design solutions for problems that matter and make the world better.
Our Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interaction Design (IxD) focuses on building compelling relationships between people and the systems around them. With two degree options for customized study, we focus on design in the context of technology, the designed world and the natural world. Moving beyond screen interfaces, Corcoran IxD is an incubator for design-based problem solving and the development of interactive spaces, products and services. Imagine, prototype and create concepts that ultimately shape people’s everyday interactions with the world.
Our students want to build compelling relationships between people and the systems around them and have demonstrated imagination and drive. The program is for designers who want to:
- Build new mobile experiences that reimagine the way people connect with the services they need
- Make the things we use and the ways we get around more sustainable
- Creatively rethink technology to better connect people and ideas
At the Corcoran, you’ll find yourself embedded in a creative community where designers, artists, photojournalists, musicians and performers connect in the classroom and beyond. You can take advantage of a world-class research institution at the George Washington University to engage in interdisciplinary practices that can expand your vision of what design can do and enhance your capacity to realize your ideas.

BFA IN INTERACTION DESIGN
The BFA in Interaction Design is a 78 credit, design-centered degree where students expand their art and design education with coursework in design and creative technologies. Students in this program also deepen their experience in human-centered design with time spent working in the program’s Engagement Lab. Creative and technical flexibility is a critical part of our design education. You’ll leave the program ready to embark on your career with experience and skill sets across a range of design and creative media.
BFA IN INTERACTION DESIGN + MINOR FIELD TRACK
Real-world design solutions rely on contextual understanding of sources like computer science for software development, ethnographic methods for user research and area studies for historical context of access and equity.
The BFA + Field Track includes the core studio curriculum (69 credits) plus 18 credits of study in a supportive field. This track is ideal if you know the field you want to work in (such as health care or international development) or want to build expertise in a related field (such as computer science or ethnographic research). This track is specifically structured to incorporate cross-disciplinary thinking into your design practice through the program.
Anticipated minor fields include but are not limited to:
- Anthropology
- Computer Science
- Environmental Studies
- Geography
- Sociology
- Clinical Management and Leadership
- Human Services and Social Justice
- Public Health
