Seattle U Web Development Certificate
Seattle University’s Web Development Certificate consists of eight courses designed to transition students from a typical web user to an entry-level Frontend Web Developer.
Students in the Web Development Certificate program will earn up to 40 college credits while learning modern technology stacks comparable to the code bootcamps, but with the added benefit of financial aid and student support comparable to a 4-year university.
The Web Development courses are offered in either “hybrid“ or “online“ formats. Hybrid courses have regular face-to-face meetings where you can work with instructors and classmates in hands-on labs. Online courses use video chats and screenshare sessions to allow one-to-one work with your instructor.
Admissions to the program are rolling, so you can apply any time for the next available date
