I'm about to take an introductory class this semester
Advanced Typography, Philosophy of Design, Motion Graphics, and Book Arts lol
Honestly, my Interaction Design courses were probably the most valuable in that they really solidified exactly what kind of work I wanted to do after I graduated.
Specifically my Interaction Design II class, which is a bit of a misnomer because it was basically a crash course in futureproofing your skillset. There were like 8 students total, the instructor worked at Alphabet for a brief time, and we did a ton of shit on emerging technologies; designing for VR, autonomous cars and how to think about things like conversational UI and designing complete product experiences, etc. We also did a whole unit on business models, got to check out a local startup incubator, and even got a private workshop with Richard Banfield.
It was such a breath of fresh air because a lot of my 1st and 2nd year classes had us doing glorified high school art project shit.
