The Bachelor of Science in Web Design & Development prepares students for careers in UX, product design, and modern digital experiences. The program combines user research, AI literacy, interface design, content creation, prototyping, and front-end development foundations to help students design and develop effective websites, apps, and digital products. Students can choose between two emphases, Interaction & User Experience Design or Web & App Development, while building the skills needed to work across design, and digital product teams.
One of the *top UI/UX-focused programs in Utah, this track allows students to be trained to enter the field as a digital product designer. The curriculum shares classes with the web and app development emphasis for the first half of the degree, then focuses on the interaction design process. The final capstone project of this UX bachelor’s degree includes working on a product team with product designers, developers, and project managers.
With many new positions opening up in Silicon Slopes and beyond, our goal is to prepare students to become the best-educated, best-prepared, and most well-rounded junior-level frontend web developers in the job market. The final capstone project, focused on kickstarting careers in web design and development through real-world experience, includes working on a product team with product designers, developers and project managers.
The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) in web design and development provides a basic understanding of the interaction design process and web and app development, enabling students to enter the workforce sooner.
The Associate in Applied Science in web design and development will provide students with employable skills to become a web designer or web developer and a pathway to further their education.

"It's so much more than learning the principles."
"What makes UVU digital media standout is that it's so much more than learning the principles. We are out in the industry preparing students for the jobs today, but also pushing bleeding-edge technology to what the opportunities will be in the future. Every class is designed to work together. There is no a la carte style of classes; instead, we have a rich, multi-course spread that gives each student a broader learning experience."
Our students have opportunities throughout the year to participate in summer sprints, conferences, professional events, and travel experiences. These experiences help them stay current in user experience (UX), digital product design, and front-end development while connecting with industry professionals and broadening their perspective.
They have participated in UXpeditions, DEVplore, and other events across the U.S. (Boston, San Francisco, NYC, Seattle, Austin) and internationally. These experiences help students connect with industry, broaden their perspective, and stay current in Digital Product, UX and front-end development.
