Web Design and Development
Web Design and Development prepares you for two distinct, but related careers: Web design and Web application development. The design concentration emphasizes the skills, theories and hands-on practices necessary to develop graphical web interfaces and web-based instructional design. The application concentration emphasizes how we connect web pages to organizational databases.
