  1. It’s very common in the U.S. that people relocate to another city for jobs/internships. Unless you have a strong reason to stay at the same place, I wouldn’t tie the location of the school to your job opportunity. CMU offers much more with its very strong alumni base. Most of the CMU MHCI grads now work at the heart of Silicon Valley. In fact, 30% of their cohort land up with an internship in the first 3-4 months of their program compared to HCID at UW's program.
  2. Hi @Conviction Based on my experience in HCI+D I feel: The program is still in it's infancy. Accordingly, expect the curriculum to not always be where you want it. Conversely, this also means you can help shape the program's structure for future classes which can be a great opportunity if you're up to the task. Lack of corporate affiliation. The HCDE department is more established and has an extensive corporate network of Seattle area affiliates and internship opportunities. Job hunting as an HCI+D student is going to require some extra leg-work on your part. HCDE is two years long and has a broader scope than just HCI. From the HCDE site, "HCDE's award-winning interdisciplinary faculty have graduate degrees from fields such as computer science, industrial engineering, information studies, education, English, linguistics, public policy, technology and society studies, and urban planning." It also has more job opportunities and academic research.
