 Return to: School of Information Studies
The World Wide Web has fundamentally changed the manner in which systems are developed and information is delivered. Ubiquity of the platform, increased accessibility, and speed of development create a new information environment.
Web-based platforms are used not only in websites, but also as the application front end for business enterprise systems, public and private sector information discovery portals, educational delivery systems, and online commerce. The SOIS Certificate in Web Design prepares students with the necessary knowledge to design, develop, and maintain an organization’s web presence.
The SOIS Certificate in Web Design provides:
- A theoretical foundation of the technical and social aspects of interface design, web design, and information and data architectures;
- A practical foundation in evaluating the needs of user interfaces in the web environments, application development, data storage and retrieval, and database design.

Requirements
Certificate completion requires 15 graduate credit hours, including:
Additional Information
- Certificates are offered for students currently pursuing a master’s of library and information science degree or returning scholars who want to add the specialization to a completed Dominican MLIS degree or its equivalent from an ALA-accredited graduate library program. Candidates work in collaboration with a faculty advisor to shape a plan of study.
- Students who graduate with an MLIS lacking one or more courses towards a certificate can enroll in the course(s) any time within five years of graduating in order to add the certificate to the transcript. Students must enroll as a student-at-large (credit-bearing), not as an auditor (non-credit-bearing).
- Students seeking two certificates may use courses that “count” toward more than one to fulfill requirements for both certificates. In other words, if a course is eligible for two certificates the student need only take it once, and may apply its credit toward both.
- Students may also combine this certificate with other coursework toward the Master of Professional Studies .
