And I'll be clearer ... I looked at the coursework there.
This is an academic program. There is no studio at all. How can you
have a design program w/o studios.
To me this is the bear minimum requirement. Not project work. That is
not the same as studio.

Also, how can you have a course of study in Information Design without
studio work specifically in
Typography
Color
Graphic Design
Iconography
Semiotics
Symbology
etc. etc.

But with interaction design, I'd expect studios in
pacing
abstraction & physicality
metaphor
etc.
