WEB SPECIALIST
Center and South Campuses
This third year program is designed as a multi-discipline AAS degree for students from MACA to gain WEB programming skills or for ITCS students in WEB Master/WEB Programming to gain useful experience in the design phase of Web Applications development.
Students completing the MACA degree program in Web Design will gain skills necessary to understand and implement XHTML, XML, and other Web programming and coding techniques. ITCS students will gain invaluable skills in page design and software development tools.
MACA students will find the ITCS courses are designed to be offered online. MACA students must demonstrate proficiency coding and debugging native HTML code*. In addition to the basic equipment and software required for traditional online classes, participants will be required to install curriculum specific software such as Internet Information Services (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS), Netscape Communicator and Composer, and FrontPage. Each of these packages are available at very deeply discounted pricing for students, some are free, or are available as a 90 day trial offer or as fully functioning programs shipped with textbooks. Texts are supplemental resource guides and programming manuals have been carefully chosen so as to reduce out-of-pocket expense for students.
ITCS students will find that the MACA courses are traditional lab intensive courses offered primarily at South Campus. College resources are available to support in-lab use of specialized software packages necessary for the completion of this track.
Macomb has 3+1 bachelor degree options available for students completing the Web Specialist degree option. Please contact a program advisor for specifics.
The MACA program advisors are Professors Mike Crumb, Ron Hood, Will Romano, Brian Sauriol, Kris Small, and Bill Soule. To talk with an MACA program advisor, please call 586.445.7435.
The ITCS program advisor is Professor Paul Sbraccia. To talk with an ITCS program advisor, please call 586.445.7167.
