Applied to grad school!
Permalink Closed

At this time, I have to apply as a continuing ed/non-student because the graduate certificate I want is not available fully online, but some of the classes are. Apparently, I'll be able to roll over the classes I take as a continuing education particpant into the actual program when they put it all on the web. 

Kent State University (incidentally, where I earned both my bach and master's degrees!), offers a User Experience Design Graduate Certificate (and master's program).  http://iakm.kent.edu/home 

I'm so excited. This marks a major career shift for me.  I can use it in higher education (where it is sorely needed) or in other sectors.

Oh awesome! Congrats on pursuing a new career and best of luck to you! User exeperience is a fun field. I've been working on it at my current job with our upcoming website redesign.

UPDATE - Applied to grad school!

I got in!  Even though I was applying as a non-student/continuing ed, I still had to send in a cover letter, resume, and three recommendation letters.

Of course, the one core class I need is full.  Here's hoping the waiting list works!
