            “
            “I made some really great connections and learned so much from GA. It's the extra push I needed to get into UX/UI over traditional visual design. I'm ecstatic to have a credible portfolio piece molded by feedback from my peers and teachers. My instructor even helped me negotiate a new contract as a UI designer.”

            Great user experiences offer a competitive advantage for any company. They help keep customers loyal and turn them into a brand’s biggest advocates. Plus, they drive product adoption and bottom-line growth. According to a report by InVision, 92% of mature design organizations can draw a straight line from the efforts of their design team to their company’s revenue.

            For professionals interested in UX and design thinking, this means that gaining new UX design skills can make you an indispensable team member and expand your career opportunities — whether you’re a designer or in a design-adjacent role like marketing, product, engineering, operations, and more.

            For your final project, you’ll work on a real-world UX design problem, applying all the concepts and tools learned in the UX design course to a product of your choice. You’ll get hands-on practice with each step in the UX process and create professional standard documentation spanning personas, information architecture, user flows, wireframes, and more. You’ll also deliver a final presentation, which can serve as a case study for stakeholders, future employers, and your portfolio.

            You’ll be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.

            If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
