The Experience Studio was the most impactful part of my Purdue journey. Working on five different real-world projects with company sponsors gave me the practical skills and confidence I needed to succeed. I brought up that class in every internship and job interview—it shaped how I work, lead, and collaborate."
Being able to lead industry-sponsored projects gave me the opportunity to build interpersonal skills, develop an agile mindset and gain confidence communicating professionally. Not to mention, the emphasis on developing a portfolio gave me an upper hand that landed me my internship-turned-full time position."
UX degrees from Purdue give their students the necessary skills to be a well-rounded leader and peer by the time they walk across the graduation stage. UX is also very close-knit, meaning we have smaller class sizes, and I really enjoyed that because I got to know the people and professors in my classes. I got to see what other people were interested in and saw all that I could do with a UX degree."
鶹Ʒgave me strong real-world experience by having us work with real companies on real projects; I always went into internships feeling really well prepared, and honestly a step ahead. The UX Learning and Experience Studio courses really prepared me well, and lot of what I learned in there came up during interviews, because they gave me experience I could actually speak to and show."
