Web Design & Open Source Web Development         


The Web Design & Open Source Web Development Certificate program focuses on using open source web development languages to create Internet documents according to industry standards.


Current design and interactive/ authoring software are used to create products that effectively communicate with the intended audience.

Coursework combines lecture, lab applications, individual and group projects, potential internship opportunities, and a final website portfolio. Classes are planned to emphasize practical production techniques and allow individual lab time for personal portfolio building.

Included in this program are academic courses in communication (English composition, speech), quantitative reasoning (math) and social sciences (psychology, sociology) that provide knowledge and abilities upon which technical skills are built and personal development enhanced.

This certificate program is approximately four quarters in length, depending on the time students need to satisfactorily complete all graduation requirements.

Prerequisites: Basic competency with personal computers and MS Office software applications.

Admission Dates: Fall Quarter. Part-time admission into individual courses permitted any quarter based on room availability and prior experience (Instructor permission required).
