Design Digital Experiences

Organizations increasingly rely on their digital presence to reach consumers and build their brands, especially through apps. In the web development certificate, you’ll learn best practices of effective and engaging user experiences (UX) through data-driven web applications with thought-out, strategic user interfaces (UI).

Regardless of your background, this program will further develop your web programming and design skills. You’ll receive hands-on training and practice for HTML, CSS, Python, and JavaScript. The skills you gain during the program will open new opportunities in your current career or allow you to pivot your career into new fields or industries.

If you are interested in this certificate but don’t have prior experience with web development, check out the certificate in data technologies to become more familiar.

Achieve More with a Master's Degree

Further specialize your data technology skills by stacking this certificate with another offered in the Master of Management Information Systems and completing capstone coursework. Earning your MMIS will give you a unique skillset and help you stand out in the workforce. The MMIS is available entirely online.
