Program Purpose
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.
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.
