Great Colleges for Web Design?

I'm thinking about majoring in web design when I go to college. Are there any schools that are particularly known for their web design programs?

a year ago

There are quite a few institutions known for their strong programs in web design. Here are some for your consideration:

1. Carnegie Mellon University: Carnegie Mellon offers a Bachelor's degree in Communication Design which includes focus areas in environments, products, services, and system. It combines technology and art in a manner similar to web design.

2. Rochester Institute of Technology: RIT's New Media Design program is strongly regarded and provides a mix of design, technology, and programming courses which parallels the needs of the web design industry.

3. Brigham Young University: Their Graphic Design program offers a Web Design & Development track. Here, students will learn about user experience, user interface, and the technology behind them.

4. University of Florida: UF offers a degree in Web Design and Online Communications as part of their online distance learning program. This degree allows for flexibility for those who may learn better in an online setting.

5. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD): The Interactive Design and Game Development degree at SCAD will have overlap with web design. It covers interactive design, animation, visual effects, and more, which can be beneficial for a web designer wanting to add interactivity and animation onto a site.

When considering a school, remember the importance of looking at the comprehensive curriculum beyond just your major, including the school culture, resources, and opportunities like internships and networking events. Also, keep in mind that the field of web design is rapidly evolving, so it's crucial to ensure that your chosen institution's curriculum is up-to-date with industry trends and technologies.
