in web development program teaches students the necessary technical and design skills to build functional websites.<\/p>\r\n<p>A full-time student takes about four years to complete a bachelor's degree, typically 120 credits. Learners explore graphic design, <a href=\"\/bootcamps\/guides\/programming-languages-web-development\/\">programming languages<\/a>, and database development. Graduates have an understanding of creating and maintaining websites for personal, business, and e-commerce use.<\/p>\r\n<p>Schools offer different types of web development bachelor's degrees. A bachelor of science (BS) in web development focuses more on the technical aspects of building websites. In contrast, a bachelor of arts (BA) degree program incorporates more digital design elements.<\/p>\r\n<p>Some universities offer minors in web development, which can complement a student's major in a related tech field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\n<div class=\"sonic-interlink duration-500 flex hover:shadow-lg bg-primary-700 \">\n    <a\n        target=\"_self\"\n        href=\"\/careers\/web-developer\/\"\n        class=\"flex items-center p-8 relative rounded w-full transition-opacity duration-500 hover:opacity-75\">\n                <span class=\"text-white block w-full\">\n          <span class=\"interlink-content flex justify-between items-center\">\n            <div>\n                                                <span class=\"title leading-snug\">Learn More About Web Developers<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n            <sonic-icon class=\"ml-3 md:ml-0\" icon=\"arrow-circle-right\" size=\"small\" color=\"#fff\"><\/sonic-icon>\n          <\/span>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Admission Requirements<\/h3>\r\n<p>To apply to bachelor's in web development programs, most schools require applicants to have a high school diploma or a GED certificate and a minimum 2.0 GPA. Learners with <a href=\"\/degrees\/associate\/\">associate degrees<\/a> may apply credits toward their bachelor's degrees to save time and money.<\/p>\r\n<p>Schools may also require SAT or ACT scores. However, students who do not meet the minimum score requirements may still be considered. Taking the ACCUPLACER may also help prospective students qualify for admission.<\/p>\r\n<p>Applicants can streamline the application process by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonapp.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Common App<\/a>. This tool allows learners to apply to multiple schools and manage their applications in one place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Degree and Specialization Options<\/h3>\r\n<p>When searching for a website development program, degree-seekers might see several names for similar degrees. Common titles for web development degrees include web design and development, along with web and mobile programming. Although their names vary, these degrees typically include similar content.<\/p>\r\n<p>Schools also offer different types of bachelor's in web development programs, including the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Bachelor of Arts:<\/strong> BA in web development programs cover broader topics. BA students usually take design courses, like user interface design and interactive data visualization, along with development classes. A BA degree may offer the best option for learners seeking a well-rounded education.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Bachelor of Science:<\/strong> BS degree-seekers learn how websites and computers work together. These programs emphasize the technical foundations of web development through math, programming, and <a href=\"\/resources\/online-courses\/\">computer science courses<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Bachelor of Applied Science:<\/strong> BAS degrees prioritize practical learning. Students may work with computers to put their skills into practice.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Delivery Formats for Bachelor's Degrees in Web Development<\/h3>\r\n<p>Distance learning programs can follow a fully online or hybrid format and may offer synchronous or asynchronous course delivery.<\/p>\r\n<p>A hybrid model consists of both in-person and online coursework. Asynchronous courses do not take place in real time. However, students must complete work before the deadline. Synchronous courses require students and instructors to interact online in real time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<table class=\"sonic-table rounded shadow\">\r\n<caption>Online vs. Hybrid Degree Programs<\/caption>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th scope=\"col\">100% Online Web Development Program<\/th>\r\n<th scope=\"col\">Hybrid Web Development Program<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-title=\"Online\">The entire classroom is online, including interactions between instructors and students.<\/td>\r\n<td data-title=\"Hybrid\">Online learning supplements in-person classes.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-title=\"Online\">Students and instructors most likely never meet person.<\/td>\r\n<td data-title=\"Hybrid\">Students and instructors meet face to face several times throughout the term.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-title=\"Online\">Ideal for students prioritizing flexibility while trying to enhance their skill sets<\/td>\r\n<td data-title=\"Hybrid\">Ideal for students who want to make connections with their peers and instructors in person<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n<table class=\"sonic-table rounded shadow\">\r\n<caption>Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Degree Programs<\/caption>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th scope=\"col\">Asynchronous Web Development Program<\/th>\r\n<th scope=\"col\">Synchronous Web Development Program<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-title=\"Asynchronous\">Coursework does not take place in real time.

Web development programs, like other computing-related degrees, can receive programmatic accreditation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">through ABET<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Attending an accredited program may increase the value of your degree, enhance employability, and help you qualify for financial aid, professional certifications, and further education.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Comparing Similar Degrees<\/h3>\r\n<p>Degree-seekers interested in tech degrees might opt for similar programs. A common alternative, computer science degrees teach the technical foundations of computing and coding.<\/p>\r\n<p>Students interested in databases and networking might pursue information technology degrees. Finally, software engineering programs explore the software development process.
