Matthew,

I just finished my masters at GWU, located in DC at Foggy Bottom metro
station. There are only a handful of UX/UI seminars or classes. There are a
handful of cognitive psychology classes that can be taken to augment your
the required 10 classes but all-in-all it's a heavily computer science,
programming, and algorithms oriented curriculum. At GWU I learned quite a
bit in my cognitive psychology classes but did not find that I learned
anything new in the 2-3 UX/UI classes.

When I last looked at UMCP, they had a larger UX/UI domain than GWU but it
was still a heavily focused in the computer science realm.

If you're leaning towards the development heavy curriculum with
technological back-end implementations and computer engineering theories
then either of these schools will probably meet your needs.

I did not know that UMBC had a more robust HCI curriculum or I may have gone
there instead.

Hope this helps,

Thai
