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 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
