What Is UX/UI?

Great design goes beyond stunning aesthetics. Learn to harness cutting-edge tools to create effective user-centric experiences. While UX and UI go hand in hand, they are two distinct, related disciplines. At UTSA UX/UI Boot Camp, you’ll learn both in addition to web prototyping. Your learning will culminate in a portfolio that showcases in-demand skills — from storyboards and prototypes to interactive apps and responsive websites.

UX: The Functionality

User Experience (UX) design is focused on eliminating friction for the user of a product or service. UX includes interaction design; information architecture; wireframing; product design; plus user research, testing, and data.

UI: The Look

User Interface (UI) represents how users interact with and experience digital products and services. UI includes brand expression, visual communication, accessibility, graphic design, color, layout, and typography.

Digital design jobs are expected to grow 13% between 2020 and 2030 — 6% faster than the national average.2

What Boot Camp Graduates Are Saying

  • “I had a great experience, learned a lot, had an incredible professor and TA and was able to add three projects to my portfolio. I chose to attend in order to further my education and obtain a career in the UX/UI field. It has made the transition from generalized graphic design to UX/UI design much smoother.”

    Margaret G.
  • “I wanted to gain a marketable skill that is relevant to today’s workforce. My MA in English, rhetoric and composition is an excellent foundation for UX Writing, but without the UX certificate, I didn’t appear desirable to employers. Completing the boot camp allowed me to pivot careers in a positive direction.”

    Kathleen W.
  • “I’m very grateful for the Career Services and believe they played a major role in connecting me with this job opportunity. I was contacted by my new employer via LinkedIn days after my career materials were approved as employer-competitive.”
