How are they?

I've known a few people who've gone through the program and they all liked it. I suspect if you are looking strictly at HCI you will be out of luck. If you open your search to related fields of study like Cog Psych or Library & Information Science you might find better luck. <a href="http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/" rel="nofollow">UIUC GSLIS</a> program is good, but like most distance programs still requires you to be on campus for a couple of weeks each year. I've known some people in that program and it was a major hassle (one person was living in Alaska) but they made it work. Mark,

You're right, not very many universities are doing this. I know it's been a while since you posted this info but would you happen to have any more bits of wisdom to help me in my search? Thanks, Mark Hi Matthew,

But I know that 5 people for an hour panel is a lot. A couple of people who have worked with me (they've gone on to bigger and better) went to the DePaul program. I have been still looking for HCI distance learning, but I think the best option given my situation is to follow the cog psych route. Although I might end up doing a dual track between cog and Industrial/Organizational psych. There are aspects of I/O that are a little more on the practical side than cog.

Closer to you and a lot of distance learning classes. I think they're actually the biggest HCI program in the country so it's a shame they weren't represented.
