Software Development

Program Overview

The Software Development certificate program provides a comprehensive exploration of the essential components of software development, focusing on front-end, back-end, and database development. Using web applications as the primary context, students will learn to design and implement front-end user interfaces with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MVC. The program also covers popular back-end programming languages and frameworks, such as Python with Flask and Java with Spring, to develop full-stack web applications. Additionally, students will have an opportunity to gain proficiency in using common data structures and algorithms, which are crucial for creating software solutions that meet customer requirements. These skills are applicable to a wide range of problem-solving software solutions beyond just web applications.

There are three options available within this certificate program:
One Stack: There are 18 total credit hours for Software Development one stack.
Two Stack: There are 24 total credit hours for Software Development two stack.
Three Stack: There are 30 total credit hours for Software Development three stack.
