Mastering the Web at the Women's College

Advancement. Opportunity. Empowerment. Words that resonate in the hallways of The Women’s College at the University of Denver (TWC). At this college women have an opportunity to exceed their education goals. With convenient hours and a tight knit community TWC offers various Degree and certificate programs for students.
Many adult women feel they don’t have the time to commit to school. Life has thrown obstacles in the way of their education path. Raising a family, while working a full time job, can make going back to school seem impossible. The Women’s College helps to alleviate some of these hurdles with convenient schedules, smaller class sizes, and various degree plans.
Enrolling in the Women’s College was one of the best decisions I have made. TWC instructors have the experience and background that gives the University of Denver its prestigious reputation. The camaraderie with other students has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my education. Any time I have a question on homework the instructor or other students are available to answer my questions. Students at TWC also have the option of adding a certificate to any degree plan simply by taking the required coursework in place of electives
With the difficult economy and competitive job market my combined Degree and Certificate at the Women’s College will improve my career opportunities. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Communications. After researching several job opportunities in Communications, I found that most employers were looking for Communications Specialists with Web Design and IT skills. I spoke with my advisor and added a Certificate in Web Design to my academic plan.
Adding a Certificate in Web Design will give me an edge in this highly competitive job market. I do not have a background in Web Design but in the short time I have taken these classes I am already designing my first website. A Web Designer is responsible for creating the look and feel of World Wide Web pages for a client's Web site. While some professional designers pursue a degree in graphic design, students at the Women’s College have the opportunity to obtain these comprehensive skills by adding a certificate to their degree plan.
