Web Development is a hands-on major focused on building the pages, sites, and applications that run in a browser. Students learn the core building blocks of the web, structuring content with HTML, styling it with CSS, and adding behavior with JavaScript, then move into authoring tools, graphics and multimedia assets, user interface design, and the standards and conventions that keep sites accessible and consistent. Coursework covers how the internet and web requests actually work, how to lay out navigation and interactions that people can follow, how to wire in search, e-commerce features, and dynamic content, and how to publish a finished product so it loads reliably for real visitors. Unlike a broad computer science degree, which centers on algorithms and theory, or software engineering, which emphasizes large-scale systems and process, Web Development stays close to the browser, the user-facing layer, and the craft of shipping working sites; it also leans more technical than a pure web or graphic design track, which concentrates on visual composition rather than the code underneath.

Most programs are offered as a bachelor's degree, though the same skills also appear in associate degrees and shorter certificates, and front-end and full-stack web roles are commonly entered with an undergraduate degree. Learning is studio- and project-driven: students work in computer labs, complete coding assignments and design exercises, and commonly finish with a capstone in which they build and deploy a full site or application as a portfolio piece. There is no general license to practice web development, so a strong portfolio of real, working projects often matters more than any single credential; where a program leads to a regulated specialty or claims a particular recognition, verify any programmatic accreditation or state requirement directly with the school. Graduates work across many settings, including software and technology firms, design and digital agencies, marketing and media organizations, e-commerce and retail companies, government and nonprofit teams, and as independent freelancers building sites for clients.

In federal data for the closely related occupation of web developers, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2024 median wage of $90,930 and projects employment to grow about 7.5% from 2024 to 2034; a bachelor's degree is the typical entry-level education for that occupation. National figures are occupation-wide medians across all experience levels, not starting wages or graduate outcomes.
