When a user clicks to open a computer program, thousands of lines of programming code are being executed to display the user interface (UI).

In NPC’s Software and Web Development degree and certificate programs you’ll learn to meet with clients or management to identify the core functionality needed, determine user requirements, write the code for those applications, and test for security and performance measures. You’ll also learn the technical structure of websites, including e-commerce applications, and establish processes for allowing others to add or modify existing content.

You could be designing data management systems for corporations, a better word processor or games for consumers.

Career Opportunities

Employment in the fields of software and web development are expected to grow 15 - 24 percent through at least 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.
