The College of Computing has a new PhD program in Human-Centered Computing (HCC). This program is the first of its kind, bringing together studies in human-computer interaction (HCI), learning sciences and technology (LST), cognitive science, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, software engineering, and information security. HCC draws on Georgia Tech’s strengths in the studies of digital media, engineering psychology, assistive technologies, architecture, industrial and systems engineering, industrial design, music, and public policy.

HCC students may have backgrounds in any of the above areas, as well as from other related disciplines, such as anthropology, information science, and sociology. Graduates of the program will be exceptionally well prepared for careers in both academia and industry.
