Web Design

The Web Design Associate in Science Degree (60 units total, 34 units in the major) is designed to prepare students for a career in Web Design by emphasizing creative problem solving, standards-based coding and scripting, visual design, usability, accessibility, technical communication, media production, and project management. The curriculum has the objective of developing technical and design skills, a combination of competencies that employers and clients value. Students develop realistic expectations about work conditions through individual and collaborative work-based projects and by learning in the same technological environment in which they will eventually work.

This degree is not specifically designed for transfer. Courses required for the associate degree major at Cerro Coso Community College may not be the same as those required for the major at a four-year school.
