Computer Information Systems - Web Application Developer Certificate

Program Requirements  Certificate Outcomes

See program requirement sheet.

This certificate is designed for people who wish to augment and validate their current occupation or acquire new skills to become an Internet or intranet Web Application Developer. The courses included in this certificate are available during the day, evening, and some offered online. Having the certificate will assist graduates in gaining employment in a field that requires them to create and maintain both Internet or intranet Web pages and sites. Specific emphasis is placed on developing interactive Web pages (those pages that will submit and receive data from the World Wide Web, Internet, or intranets). Students learn to develop the effective Web pages and sites through the use of Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML), client-side scripting, server-side scripting or programming by gaining a working knowledge of the Internet and the various Internet services available.

Students planning to continue taking courses toward a CIS degree should plan ahead while working toward their CIS certificate. For a smooth transition from certificate to degree, students should see a CIS adviser at their earliest opportunity.

Credit/Grade Requirements This certificate is awarded upon a student’s completion of a minimum of 44 credits of Program Requirements as outlined. A minimum of 30 credits or one-third of the required credits, whichever is less, must be earned at Edmonds Community College. Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all college-level courses as well as a minimum grade point average of 2.8 within the program requirements.

Graduation Application A completed Graduation Application form must be submitted to Enrollment Services by the 10th day of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate. Forms are available online or at Enrollment Services located in Lynnwood Hall.

Students are advised to:

• Plan their schedule several quarters in advance in order to accommodate courses that are offered only once or twice a year,
• Review the college catalog for required course prerequisites and include these in schedule planning, and
• Communicate with a faculty adviser.

Note: This requirement planning sheet is not a substitute for meeting with an academic adviser. Meeting the requirements to graduate with an Edmonds Community College degree or certificate is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
