UX magazine, one of our go-to sources for all things UX (follow them on twitter @UXmag, you'll see!), names winners each year for their Design for Experience Awards. There are several categories, and the winners "are doing vanguard work in the field of experience design, and were selected as winners based in large part on what we can learn from their work." We are thrilled to see that Bentley’s HFID graduate program came out on top in the "Academic Program" category, up against other graduate programs around the globe. The magazine had this to say about the Human Factors in Information Design program:
"As an experience designer, it’s easy to get distracted by creative aspects of your work and ignore the business needs that drive projects. Bentley University’s Human Factors in Information Design (HFID) graduate program is part of a business program, not just a UX program, which allows students to learn more than just how to create UX deliverables. Understanding the impact that UX has on business (and that business has on UX) is crucial, and can also help foster the soft skills that many pure UX programs lack. Taking this approach to UX education put Bentley University ahead of the pack."
