Web and Mobile Computing Bachelor of Science Degree

What truly sets our graduates apart is their ability to see the world through the eyes of the user. Creating an impactful app begins with solid code and good design, but understanding user expectations is the cornerstone of that process. In the web and mobile computing major, you will learn a user-centric approach to application creation. This, coupled with a robust developer skill set, enables you to produce applications that connect with multiple users across varied environments.

RIT’s Web and Mobile Computing Degree

A defining aspect of the web and mobile computing curriculum is its depth of study. You will learn a wide variety of programming languages and platforms so that you can meet the demands of industry and the public. For example, you won’t just learn about web services, you’ll learn how to use existing web services, how to create different types of web services, and how to do it in a variety of languages.

Web and Mobile Computing Concentrations

After establishing this strong foundation, you can further your skills by choosing two of the following concentrations in web and mobile computing: web application development, database, mobile application development, wearable and ubiquitous development, and project lifecycle.

• Web Application Development: Want to build the next eBay, Gmail, or Squarespace? Master the skills needed to push web apps in new directions.
• Database: Data is the lifeblood of modern business. Storage, integrity, access, speed, security – learn how to manage modern data in any environment.
• Mobile Application Development: Learn to write clean, efficient code in multiple languages and design an impactful user interface on modern mobile platforms.
• Wearable and Ubiquitous Development: Smartwatches, the Internet of Things, and beyond – learn to integrate new and cutting-edge tech into the modern world.
• Project Life Cycle: Understand how the entire process works, from initial client discussions to meeting deadlines, managing risks, and producing deliverables.

Global Opportunities

The web and mobile computing degree is offered at RIT’s main campus in Rochester, NY, and at RIT Croatia, which has campuses in Dubrovnik and Zagreb. Because the same curriculum is offered in all three locations, you may spend a semester studying abroad and immersing yourself in the Croatian culture without any negative impact on your time to graduation. Furthermore, in your fourth year, you’ll complete a senior development project, a year-long course in which teams are composed of students from RIT’s main campus and both RIT Croatia campuses. Whether you choose to study abroad or remain in Rochester, you will be working side-by-side with your peers from across the world.
