Full Sail's New Online Web Design & Development Degree
The new program launches May 2009
Full Sail University is expanding the availability of our Web Design & Development Bachelor of Science Degree Program into a new online degree offering. Set to launch in May 2009, this fully-featured online degree program is designed to give students a holistic vision of web design and development, where design and aesthetic techniques are taught in balance with programming and coding. With the Internet’s cultural prominence at an all-time high, there is an increasing need for individuals who are capable of building the websites where the world comes together, and this program prepares students to enter that exciting field, combined with the convenience and flexibility of online education.
“The online program draws upon many of the principles covered in our on-campus program’s curriculum,” says Web Design & Development Program Director Bill Bain. “We’re focusing more on allowing students to become adept at front-end usability and design. And by offering the degree online, students will be able to study these concepts and develop these skills no matter where they’re located or what their schedules are like – they’re getting an accelerated education that they can go through at their own pace.”
The Web Design & Development Bachelor of Science Degree Online Program offers the same real world education that Full Sail University has made a staple of their curriculum for the past 30 years. This unique program focuses on industry-standard concepts such as human computer-interaction, front-end design, client-side scripting development, and Web Standards deployment. By creating their own web projects, students will put these concepts into practice within the various courses of the degree.
Students will sharpen their design skills as they create dynamic, user-friendly websites. They’ll also become fluent in Flash design and development – including advanced ActionScript 3.0 concepts – to add further interactivity and deployments to their creations. To increase their sites’ functionality and ease-of-use, they’ll also learn about the Web Standards that ensure sites are usable on multiple platforms and in multiple browsers.
“The combination of front-end design and development techniques makes this online degree one of the most ambitious online web offerings out there,” says Bain. “Students are getting a well-rounded skill set in one program.”
