What does a UX designer do?
User experience is a growing field within graphic information technology and other industries. UX designers understand human-computer interaction and incorporate aspects of branding, design, usability and function.
A product that utilizes user experience design creates relevant experiences for consumers, so they find value and satisfaction from interacting with the product. UX designers evaluate the entire process of acquiring and integrating the product while thinking about its ease of use, efficiency, utility and value.
Will my user experience degree concentration say 'online'?
No, Arizona State University’s diplomas don’t specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Arizona State University.” That’s because ASU Online students learn from the same faculty and receive the same course content as in-person students receive.
Your concentration in user experience will appear on both your diploma and transcripts.
