Bachelor Certificate

You will be able to upload a copy of your unofficial transcript in the Previous Education section. The copy of your unofficial transcript is sufficient for the purposes of the review process of your application. However, if you are offered admission and choose to enroll in the University of Maryland, you will need to send your official and unopened (in a sealed envelope) transcript

All programs require three (3) letters of recommendation. Provide the names and email addresses of three individuals who will provide online letters of recommendation. Letters should come from current/former faculty members, employers, colleagues, and in rare cases personal references. Letters should not come from family members or those unable to speak to your ability to complete a graduate degree.

All applicants to any graduate program at the University of Maryland complete a Statement of Purpose (1,000 to 2,000 words) in which you describe your past work, your developed interest in your intended field, and any life experiences that have prepared you to pursue a graduate degree at a large, diverse institution. In addition to the Graduate School’s Statement of Purpose, the HCIM program requires a Supplementary Application. For your supplemental application, please select any THREE of the following five questions to answer. Copy the questions you choose into a single document, then answer each one in the space beneath in 150 words or less. Answer each separately, not as a single essay. Upload all three answers as a single document. ● Find a current job opening that you could see yourself pursuing upon completion of the HCIM degree. What is the job, and how will the HCIM program prepare you for it? ● Describe a situation when a professional superior assigned you a task that went against your personal code of ethics. How did you handle it? ● Tell us about a new technology you learned recently for your job or for school. What was your strategy for learning? What happened when you encountered something you didn't know? ● Describe a piece of design for technology or UX that you find especially influential or inspiring, and why it interests you. ● Describe a situation where you needed to research a problem, organization, technology, or product for completing a project. How did you go about finding that information? How did you confirm that it was accurate, and how did it influence your project?
