Dunwoody Web Programming & Database Development

New for Fall 2021! Flexible scheduling: students in Computer Technology programs can choose which of their major classes they take in person on campus and which they take online. Whether it’s all on-campus courses, all online, or a mix, create the schedule that works best for you.

Dunwoody’s Web Programming & Database Development program provides you with the skills and knowledge necessary to build and maintain useful cross-device apps and websites, including sophisticated database-driven applications.

The degree emphasizes a well-rounded education in open source and proprietary languages and database systems, so that you graduate with a diverse set of skills.

Through lectures, hands-on projects, and individual practice, you’ll learn the ins-and-outs of responsive web development; client and server-side scripting; object-oriented languages; industry-standard database creation and management; secure coding practices and programming logic; current industry project management techniques; basic user interface and user experience principles; data structures; and structured query language (SQL) within multiple database systems.

You’ll also take courses in color theory and web graphics alongside graphic design students, so that you’re well equipped to collaborate and communicate with creative professionals when you’re out in the workforce.

Instruction comes from industry-experienced and education-focused instructors, who have years of practice working in the fields you hope to enter. And opportunities to work on real projects for real clients allow you to build your résumé and portfolio before graduation.

In your final semester, you will complete a project-based capstone or internship.

This degree directly transfers into Dunwoody’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
