艺术与设计，再也无法忽略技术的影响，
无法忽略人-机交流时的心理和行为模式。
交互设计作为一门应时代而生的新兴学科，
无疑是这些年持续升温的大热门。
中英文的学科互译一直都是个大坑，中文所说的“交互设计”其实是个笼统的大概念，并不能直译为Interactive Design，因此打了引号。
美国各大院校的交互专业命名根据其价值观、历史沿革、师资背景、周围产业等原因，可谓“五花八门”，即使它可能是一个很牛的学校，但倘若不适合你的兴趣和优势，对于申请和择校都没有好处。所以，今天我们就来刨根问底！
本期带来的，
是【美国交互设计专业院校硕士list】

If applicable for your background, applicants may include a link to their portfolios. This is not a requirement and is optional for all applying.
Whether your background is in design or not, you're required to submit a web-based portfolio of work to be considered for graduate study at Carnegie Mellon's School of Design. Include samples of recent work that represent the strengths of your professional, creative, or academic experience. This portfolio might be filled with design projects, writing samples, or summaries of other original projects you have undertaken. You may use photography, video, writing, or interactive presentations to demonstrate your work.
For long works – such as theses, book designs, and software applications – please select excerpts that best represent your strengths. For each piece, include a brief description (one paragraph) on content and context, to help us get to know you better and understand your creative and problem solving approaches. If you include a collaborative work, make sure to identify your contributions.
We will evaluate your portfolio from multiple viewpoints, including visual or verbal communication skills, critical and analytical thinking, craftsmanship, ease of navigation, and creativity.
For candidates from non-design backgrounds applying to the MA program, we recognize that your portfolio will be different than a design portfolio. We are looking for supplemental information to your application that highlights your creative potential and interest in design. For example, your work might include written observations, blogs or critiques of existing work or things encountered in the world; artwork such as painting, ceramics, photography or video; musical or dramatic performances; academic or professional writing samples; and volunteer or professional contributions to projects.
Your portfolio must be web-based, and you must provide a link to your portfolio in your application package. Be sure that your site functions correctly on multiple platforms. No PDFs or physical portfolios will be accepted.

作品集要求：
Applicants are required to submit a portfolio of work that demonstrates a point of view about interaction design. Interaction design portfolios are likely visual but need not be, as we look for a broad range of references as parallel influences to the field. Portfolios must include at least five projects. You might consider:
Design work that demonstrates visual literacy, craft, process, and the corresponding product/service.
Usability and social science research that emphasizes the concept and ultimate findings.
Strategy and writing projects that communicate audience, challenge, and outcomes.
Coding projects that show samples, process, and outcome.
Project management accomplishments that make clear the responsibilities, challenge, and problem solved.
Applicants are also strongly encouraged to submit one case study. The case study should describe one of your projects from concept through completion, detailing: the project problem, your approach, and outcomes with supporting sketches and images. Emphasize your process and thinking using between one and six pages in PDF format. Case study PDFs may be included with your portfolio, or submitted via a separate link (e.g., via Dropbox or Google Drive).
Personal interviews may be scheduled only on a case-by-case basis. Departments will contact applicants to schedule in-person or phone interviews.
For more information, applicants should review the department requirements section of their chosen program.
