What do you want to be when you grow up?
I think you've told me before but I forget. HCI
per se is not H1B friendly, but I think you already know that. Since one can choose most of the electives in the program, I think you could make it a partial CS degree if you wanted to.
Since you are interested in getting a PhD, I have considered getting an MS at Iowa State and then applying to the PhD program at Georgia Tech in Human Centered Computing. I don't know, however, what the odds would be of such a transition. It would obviously depend greatly on what one is able to publish in the meantime.
Personally, my interest in HCI is mostly in applying machine learning, and I don't have an interest in PhD programs. I am interested in the Iowa State HCI MS program but I have been learning more lately to getting an
MS in statistics via distance learning. I am just so sick and tired of seeing so much crazy math in research articles that I can't understand
