The Interactive Arts and Media Department's minor in Web
Development is designed for students of any major who would
like to supplement their work with skills in developing for and
distributing work through the web. This minor provides
students with a firm grounding in the technical aspects of web
page creation, programming, and information management.
Students learn state-of-the-art programming languages to
create interactive web sites with dynamic content. Students'
high-end web content and design programming skills will make
them more competitive in the web design market.
The growth of the World Wide Web has created a need for
experimental approaches to web design. In combination with a
major, the Web Development minor enables students to take an
interdisciplinary and experimental approach to web design,
which is necessary in a changing media environment. All of
Columbia's students have an opportunity to explore and experience
the latest technological advances in hardware and software
in our classrooms and labs, and to study with professionals in web design.
