Computer Science – Web Design

TU’s web design program is designed to provide students the practical knowledge and skills to build robust websites and web applications for desktop computers and mobile devices such as phones and tablets. The program was designed with the specific intent of producing students with strong skills in UX and visual design, marketing and programming. Students will learn to follow industry protocols and to use modern programming languages, database structures and frameworks to create, deploy and maintain websites and applications.

Students will have the opportunity to earn a number of industry certifications including the MCSA: Web Applications (Microsoft Certification). These nearly 20 certifications, partnered with a degree in computer science, will give you a clear competitive advantage when it comes to job placement.

Programmed for Success

• Study with professors who bring years of industry leadership and experience to the classroom.
