Program Description

The online Web Design School mirrors our Web Design school in San Francisco, and currently offers an online Web Design degree as a Master of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Associate of Arts degree programs.

Unlike other online Web Design schools, all of our online Web Design courses provide students with an education in art, design, and technology. Students will develop a unique blend of skills applicable to many computer-based applications. The department offers some of the most technologically advanced facilities in the nation, and is supported by a faculty of working professionals, who provide students with direct contact to the industry. The online Web Design & New Media program's benefits include self-paced learning, flexible schedules, NO CLASS FEES ($400/class savings in the major), and clear presentation of materials, with the ability to review and master each concept before continuing to the next.

Our program is founded on traditional applications and aesthetics that promote a command of industry excellence and practice. Students focus on functionality, the target audience, and user experience, and their education is grounded in the fundamentals of basic front-end and back-end scripting languages, which are key components to web design. Students also develop skills in testing and performance for communication and for profit.

Course Hardware Requirements

While the majority of online classes in any online degree we offer can be completed on either a Macintosh or PC computer, some classes in the Web Design & New Media Department require software that is only available for the Macintosh. The individual online class description pages on this website will identify such classes. It is recommended that online students refer to the online class description pages prior to purchasing a new computer.
