Planning Your Schedule
If you wish to complete the Web Design Certificate quickly, careful planning is needed to ensure that you take courses in the correct sequence and take advantage of when courses are offered. Some courses are offered every semester, some are only offered once per year, and some electives are offered every other year. Beginning in the Fall is most ideal, but you can begin any semester and still make progress.
It is recommended that you seek guidance on courses sequences before you begin your first semester in the program so you can meet your academic goals within your desired timeframe.
Sample 1-Year Plan
Fall
- DMA C102 (offered every semester, but it is advised that you take this course your first semester)
- DMA C111 (offered every semester, but it is advised that you take this course your first semester)
- DMA C115 (only offered Fall semesters)
- DMA C211 (only offered Fall semesters)
- An elective
Spring
- DMA C113 (only offered Spring semesters)
- DMA C117 (only offered Spring semesters; DMA C102 and DMA C111 are prerequisites)
- ENGL C151 (only offered Spring semesters)
- An elective
- An elective
Summer
- DMA C280 (only offered Summer semesters; should be taken at the end of the program)
Sample 2-Year Plan
The sample schedule below indicates a recommendation for core courses. You'll also need to complete 3 electives, but you can complete them as they are offered and according to your needs.
Fall
- DMA C102 (offered every semester, but it is advised that you take this course your first semester)
- DMA C111 (offered every semester, but it is advised that you take this course your first semester)
Spring

- DMA C117 (only offered Spring semesters; DMA C102 and DMA C111 are requisites)
Summer

Summer

Taking One Course at a Time
Many students work full time and/or have family obligations that constrain them to taking just 1 course per semester or even skipping semesters occasionally. There is no problem with this approach, as long as you are mindful about a few guidelines:
- DMA C102 and DMA C111 should be the first and second courses you take.
- DMA C280 should be the last course you take (or nearly the last--it is okay if you still have an elective or 2 to complete prior to taking this course)
- Be mindful that some courses are only offered once per year, and some electives are only offered every 2 years. Check the long term schedule above to plan your personal long term schedule.
