Philosophy
The Web Design B.S. program offers courses in three key areas of software required to work in the design industry - Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator - with curriculum emphasis on good design, problem solving, planning, and design functionality. InDesign is used for layout, Photoshop for image manipulation, and Illustrator for vector drawing. Students will learn industry standard software with hands-on coursework. Students may also use five program electives to complete requirements for a certificate of their choice. Students may also opt to use those five electives to complete the accelerated option graduate certificate.
Purpose
In following the University mission, the Web Design B.S. program prepares students for employment in the design field. Employment postings for photographers and designers have highlighted the requirement of skills specifically in the three Adobe software programs included in this program.

Experiential Learning
The Office of Experiential Learning takes a 360鈼� approach to experiential learning. Whether you come to 成人抖音破解版 with a vast amount of professional experience and are awarded Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), or you participate in a Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunity (Internships or Cooperative Education) embedded in your curriculum for credit, we provide a pathway to completing your degree.
Cooperative Education Option
The Cooperative Education option for the Web Design program is an alternative to VFP 313 – Aesthetics of Film and DSN 490 – Internship. Each co-op assignment is one semester long and normally the two co-op assignments span two consecutive semesters with the same employer. In order to be eligible, students must first have at least 60 credits, plus a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

Minimum Grade Policy
The Web Design program has set a minimum passing grade of “C-” for the following courses: CSC 306, CSC 240/340, CSC 370, DSN 325, DSN 326, and TEC 325. Students receiving a grade lower than “C-” in any of these courses must retake the course.
Enhance your Degree with a Certificate
The College of Technology's digital media department, which is focused on giving students hands-on training and real-world skills across a multimedia platform, consists of six individual Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees: Animation and 3D, Game Design and Development, Graphic Design, Video and Film Production, and Web Design.
Each of these degree programs has been designed with three identifiable parts: Uniform First Year, Program Core, and 15 credits to be used towards a CoT Certificate. All students will begin their academic career with a uniform first year before they begin to focus on their selected degree core. After completion of the uniform first year, students will begin to enroll in their program core courses. Finally, students in each program will use 15 career-centered course credits towards earning a College of Technology Certificate as illustrated in the table below.
Uniform First Year
Animation & 3D Program Core Courses
Game Design & Development Program Core Courses
Graphic Design Program Core Courses
Video & Film Production Program Core Courses
Web Design Program Core Courses
College of Technology Certificate Courses (options vary by program)
Accelerated Graduate Certificate Option
Students in the Web Design B.S. degree program may choose an accelerated option with:
Students selecting this option can complete both their undergraduate degree and the graduate certificate by completing 120 credits (105 undergraduate credits and 15 graduate credits).

Students who complete the Management Information Systems or Technology Project Management Graduate Certificates also receive the benefit of completing five graduate level courses that count towards a Master’s degree in Information Systems Technologies (M.S. IST). Students selecting this option are not required to pursue the M.S. IST degree.
Admission requirements include:
Note: Students will not be eligible to register for graduate level courses until they have successfully completed at least 60 credits towards their bachelor’s degree and have an approved AOI form. Students must receive their B.S. degree in order to receive the graduate certificate.
