TCID Badges & Certificates
In addition to the degree programs, TCID offers four badges. The TCID badges are intended for students just beginning their careers and for community members with little or no experience interested in TCID. Students in the badges meet concurrently with undergraduate students in regular TCID courses.
User Experience Research and Design
