Description

The Web Programming minor provides students with a foundation in web development. The minor is for students in any field — from the natural sciences to social sciences and humanities — allowing them to work with substantial computing and Internet-oriented cyber systems.

The Web Programming minor allows students to acquire skills and theoretical foundations needed to create web-related quality software and gain experience with full-stack development.

Please see the “Web Design & Development” minor offered by the School of Emerging Media & Technology for a distinct program minor with greater emphasis on design and front-end development. 

Admission Requirements

Admission to a minor is open to students declared in a bachelor’s degree, the A.A.B. or A.A.S. degree or the A.T.S. degree (not Individualized Program major). Students declared only in the A.A. or A.S. degree or the A.T.S. degree in Individualized Program may not declare a minor. Students may not pursue a minor and a major in the same discipline.

Graduates of this program will be able to:

1. Understand the essential facts, concepts, principles and theories related to computer science and web programming with data bases.
2. Apply computer science concepts to solve computer and web-related problems.
3. Design and create web-related quality software by gaining experience with full stack development.
4. Make succinct oral presentations and written expositions about technical problems and their solutions.
