Web Development, AAS

Overview

Narrative

Websites are indispensable tools for every aspect of business. If you're interested in being a part of this growing field of employment, you will want to secure the right set of skills. Attractive job candidates have the ability to design the look of a website and also to program the technical aspects that provide an interactive feel. We have designed our Web Development program to train students for both the creative and technical sides of the job.

Our program is geared toward gaining employment upon graduation, rather than transferring to a four-year college. Upon graduation, students will be equipped with the skills to qualify for positions such as web developer, web programmer, web designer, interactive web developer, web application developer, and director of web services.

Features

The Web Development AAS Program offers the student a strong educational core focused on design and programming for the web. Students develop the skills necessary to develop and maintain robust, well-designed, interactive and dynamic web sites. Students study client-side scripting, server-side scripting, object-oriented programming and database systems as a means to develop programming skills. Courses such as Computer Graphics, Introduction to Web Design, Web Animation, and Interactive Programming give students the chance to develop their design skills.

In your final semester, you will develop an Advanced Web Portfolio and create a functional dynamic web site in the capstone course, Advanced Web Technologies. The student portfolio and capstone project will be key tools in your job search.

This program can be completed in two years of full-time study with a combination of day and evening courses.
