Web and Interactive Design Track
Web design is the process of creating and designing the visual aspect of websites using coding and digital tools. This field emphasizes the importance of aesthetics and user experience to create effective and functional websites.
Students with a background in web and interactive design often go into careers in web development, UX/UI design, front end development, graphic design and other fields.
