There is a vast amount of programs at the University of Cincinnati. Students often do not realize how many programs are available to incoming or transfer students. There was an opportunity to give students an easy place to find programs, understand how programs fit into their career goals and apply to those programs.

User Flow Prototype for Program Finder
The goal of the program finder is for students to discover and apply to programs at the Univerity of Cincinnati. Based on competitive analysis and user interviews, the main actions for users became search, filter, and apply.
Search and Filter Screen
Based on user testing, the search field was programed to be a weighted dynamic search of the program titles, degree field, and description. The filters of Award, College, Interest, and Location came from user interviews and similar fields for all programs within the database.
Program Group Screen
When a program has multiple degrees offered under the same program, users can browse all options. This gives
users a broader view of the educational opportunities with that program.
Program Detail Screen
Once a user selects a program, career options, the application process, and curriculums are broken down into
individual tabs for better readability. From this screen, the user can directly apply to the program
or go back to their search results.
