I think it is a great idea for Ramussen to offer degrees in web design. As the others have already mentioned, a course in Marketing in regards to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), and Social Media Marketing (SMM) would be an awesome course to enroll in as well.

Web Design & Development - Web Design Durban
Web design is indeed a great field to go into. The only problem with it is the fact that it is an extremely saturated industry - there are far too many "web designers" because there are no real barriers to entry.
It seems like this degree might be a great start towards separating yourself from the crowd, though. :)

Hi,
I found this article interesting. However I would question your use of Flash on the course. With mobile flash being dropped by Adobe I think it's days as a tool for web design are over.
Subject - Braxton Tulin
As someone who has been developing websites since I was 10, and has made a career out of it, still only being 21, I would recommdend taking web design courses throughout school. HTML is now, or soon to be the "Word" qualification. You just have to understand it to get a job. Database Development and Web Design are two of the fastest growing sectors in our economy, and it's worth all the time necessary to advance in your career.
