Career Opportunities in Web Development

Graduates with a web development and administration specialization may consider the following careers:

  • Applications Manager

    An application manager chooses which software applications to use within a company. They have a baseline skill level in IT that enables them to test and choose the right software for the unique needs of their employer.

  • Front-end and Back-end Developer

    Front-end and back-end developers are both involved in the development of a site. Front-end developers primarily deal with the appearance of a site while back end developers ensure its functionality.

  • Web Application Developer

    Web application developers, also known as web app developers, are responsible for the development and design of web applications.

  • Web Designer

    Web designers are primarily responsible for the layout and interface elements of a website or web application. They ensure that sites are visually appealing and intuitive from a UI standpoint.

  • Web Master

    Web masters are responsible for ensuring that a site stays up to date and is usable and well-maintained. They often oversee teams of designers and developers when working with larger companies. In the past, web masters were solely responsible for each element of a website, and this is sometimes still true for webmasters at small companies.

Curriculum

Skill Focused Curriculum

Elements of the curriculum are aligned to industry certifications to help you validate your knowledge and skills as you prepare to pursue such certification exams as:

  • CompTIA A+

    This certification touches on elements of troubleshooting, hardware and operating systems. It's widely regarded as one of the core certifications that proves baseline competency in IT.

  • CompTIA Linux+

    The Linux certification verifies proficiency with the Linux operating system and its various applications.

  • CompTIA Network+

    Network+ certifies your knowledge and proficiency with emerging technologies such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things. This is a great certification for those who wish to give their skills some degree of futureproofing.

  • CompTIA Cloud+

    This certification demonstrates your ability to set up, manage and maintain cloud computing systems in a secure fashion. It is becoming ever more critical to understand cloud infrastructure as more and more services, particularly those on the web, shift to the cloud.
