This path is designed for first-time freshmen, provisional applicants, and those looking to integrate their certificate with general education credits toward a bachelor’s degree.
Each pathway is tailored to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge for success in web application development. The second option offers enhanced leadership training for a well-rounded educational experience.
