UX masters
I'm a new graduate student, but my experience so far has been great. The staff and instructors have all been knowledgeable and helpful. MICA is great with technology. It's a smaller school, which affords students more personalized attention; this is a huge change from my previous intuition which was a big state school. My program is also online, and although it has taken some adjustment in how I interact with colleagues and instructors, I am finding the experience fairly smooth.
Online UX program
My review is based on an online graduate program, so I am not familiar with the accommodations, food, social scene, living experiences, etc. I will say that their onboarding for how to use their online services was amazing and clearly well thought out. Prior to starting class, I had a sense of how dedicated they are to ensure their students have a positive experience.
MPS student here
Loved MICA! I feel as thought I got a really good education for my MPS degree. I had a lot of real world professors and gained a lot of confidence transitioning careers. The classwork was manageable and not just busy work. I liked the students in my class and felt the overall class was well structured and thought out.
