[GLLUG] Classes @ LCC

[dennis-groups6481 at mailzoo.com]

I work at Lansing Community College and we are proposing a 2 year 
degree for the Web, that builds on our current 1 year Certificate.  
http://snipurl.com/ifbca04

There are new courses (pending approval) that will be developed include:

-PHP/MySQL
-PERL/CGI
-Apache/IIS Web server Administration
-Web Development Tools (Overview of Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc.)
-Intro to MySQL
-Intro to Linux Desktop

The degree takes the current Internet for Business Certificate ( 
http://snipurl.com/ifbca04 ) that we have and beefs it up for a 2 year 
degree.  The current certificate already includes a series of intro 
courses in computers, VB.NET programming, web design, XHTML/CSS and 
site management.  This degree adds the new courses plus the usual math, 
science, etc.

To the employers in the crowd: Is this something you would want?  Is 
there something missing?

To the potential (and current) students:   If you were not currently 
attending a school and were looking for a future in web related work, 
would you take these courses and pursue a 2 year degree?  Why or why 
not?

Any thoughts on this, would help greatly.

Thanks

Dennis
