Web Client-Side Development

Certificate of Recognition

This one to two quarter certificate can enable students to gain core client-side web site development skills, including web page scripting, which help make them employable in web page creation and programming entry-level positions. This certificate will also serve as part of the course requirements for the CIS ATA degree, Web Development Option.

Additionally, if a student has to withdraw prior to completion of the CIS ATA degree, Web Development Option, they will have this certificate to assist them with employment options. Many employers may support students who do get a job after their certificate with completing their ATA at OC through their company's training programs.

Moreover, the Web Client-Side Development certificate will give students who currently work in industry a set of courses to broaden their IT knowledge base and enhance their skills.

Not all courses listed are offered every quarter. Please see an appropriate faculty advisor or Division Dean for course sequence and schedule details. A faculty advisor must approve the program for degree/certificate completion.
