Web Development Minor
The internet is potentially the most powerful information tool for education, entertainment, finance, business, and commerce.
Parkside’s minor in web development is designed to give you an in-depth understanding of all aspects of building complex websites, including website authoring, dynamic web pages, markup languages, server side programming, relational databases, form processing, and web services.
The minor nicely complements majors in computer science, management information systems (MIS), art, and communication, although all disciplines are welcome.
