The Certificate in Web Design program is intended for students who want to update their computing skills and knowledge or are seeking a change in career. It covers specific professional skills/concepts that are much in demand in business and industry. This certificate is designed to provide the student with knowledge sufficient to develop Web sites and participate in the maintenance of Internet, Intranet and Extranet infrastructure and services. It includes all of the material required to pass the i-Net+ Certification from the Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA). Students taking Computer Information Science Courses will have to spend time outside of class working with computers. The Program is offered at the Dobbs Ferry, Bronx, White Plains and Yorktown campuses and on-line.
