This 10-class series will be offered throughout the summer to provide new design professionals with the tools, resources,and connections they need to create a successful career in UX Design. Students will participate in an introduction to UX Design, gain access to a resource hub for continuous education and learning, and receive mentorship and career advice.

This series will offer: 

• A small cohort, resulting in more one-on-one support with staff and intimate collaboration with cohort members
• Toolkits filled with resources to continue practicing craft after the course
• Office hours - “lunch and learn” style - to receive feedback from instructors and mentors as you progress throughout the cohort
• Rich content and resources that are cost-efficient for all
• No judgment! We welcome all students with any background; as long as you have an interest in UX design, this is the course for you!
