Program Requirements Narrative

The field of computer science leads to a variety of careers that all require core computer science skills. These skills include theory classes such as Computer Hardware, Data Structures, Databases, and Networks, as well as programming in different computer languages (C++, Java, Python, HTML& Java Script). Thereafter, within the field, areas of specialty lead into careers including software development, project management, system analysis,and maintenance among other areas. With the Internet being an integral part of everyday life, Web page authoring and Web application development have been other areas of high demand in the job market.

After several meaning the advisory board and IT GUILD, the focus is to prepare our students for the labor Market. One of the main concerns that both had was the ability for students to gain knowledge to be used to obtain a job. This certificates is dedicated to providing students with the needed to knowledge to compete in the job market by introducing not just programming to students but also client/server concepts where students have to write code in different languages (Java, HTML, PHP, SQL) in order to create a single application.

Web development is becoming one of the hottest careers for developers who want to start earning significantly higher salary in shorter period. Companies are expecting students to graduate with knowledge not just to write code, but to create applications on both the client side as well as the server side in order to provide their customers with flexibility to use their products on different platforms (PC, Mobile, Web…etc.). Throughout the colleges in our region, several colleges teach web development, but very few offer certification in it. Having a certificate program will encourage students to apply and get the certification as well as give them an advantage over other students when applying for work. Furthermore, employers view a certificate that documents the student’s experience and achievement and recognizes the student’s commitment to enhance their educational experience very highly.
