Web Programming

Web ProgrammingThis program is an option to the associate degree program in Computer Information Technologies. This two-year degree option is designed for an individual who wants an IT career that emphasizes the programming aspects of websites. While design and maintenance are highlighted, the focus is web languages and scripting.

Beginning in the Spring 2009, all entering CIT majors taking one or more CIT courses during the day will be required to purchase a Dell laptop that satisfies certain minimum specifications.  The specifications will be provided students when they are accepted so they can determine whether they have a laptop that meets the requirements.  In the event they don't, a link will be provided to the Dell website so that students can purchase a computer directly from the company.  Dell will accept Master Card/Visa or will also try to arrange a payment plan.
