Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Digital Design: To meet the ever-changing requirements of the Web Design & Development industry, students must be offered hands-on experience with the latest technology, and be exposed to emerging trends. Essential skills such as defining project constraints and client relationship techniques are built upon a strong web design and web development foundation. This program offers a unique curriculum that has a balanced core of both front-end web page creation and back-end application engineering. Employers are increasingly looking for candidates with experience and capability in both sides of web work. While progressing through the Digital Design track, students can choose from a wide variety of electives, allowing them to create an educational concentration. In this program, students will learn how to take a web project from the beginning of the planning stage through to publishing, delivery, and maintenance. Our classes introduce concepts such as design principles, content delivery, usability, data gathering, and e-commerce theory. The AAS Degree program includes core requirements, elective requirements, and general education requirements. The total requirement is 90 quarter credits and normally takes 60 weeks to complete. Students will be required to complete 4-6 hours per week in the fifth quarter of the program of voluntary community service activities as a prerequisite for completion of their program of study. Students should note that not all courses are offered each term.
