Because we live in a computerized society, Web design offers a world-wide job market with unlimited locations and diverse environments. Web sites are utilized for a variety of businesses. The World Wide Web has unveiled new opportunities for businesses creating a demand for Web designers and Web developers.
As the World Wide Web becomes a pervasive medium — just like TV, radio, film and print — and as its influence grows beyond that of earlier media, the scope of essential designing skills for the Web continues to expand. Because today’s Web involves more than HTML coding and graphic design, it is important to engage designers with a full range of skills, who can develop Web sites that bring benefits to their intended users.
Formal education and real world experience form a good basis for the development of a capable designer. This curriculum will enlarge student’s skill sets and knowledge bases which will assist in the ability to analyze, create and revise Web sites.
For students wishing to pursue a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or university, please see the Computer Science or Management Information Systems liberal arts transfer curriculum plans listed in the Liberal Arts section of this catalog.
