Full Description

The Web Programming minor provides students with a foundation in web development. The minor is for students in any field — from the natural sciences to social sciences and humanities — allowing them to work with substantial computing and Internet-oriented cyber systems.

The Web Programming minor allows students to acquire skills and theoretical foundations needed to create web-related quality software and gain experience with full-stack development.

This minor differs from the Web Design and Development minor, which has a greater emphasis on design and front-end development.
