Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Interactive Web Design is a 2-year program that leads to an Associate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degree. A wide array of interactive media products and services are in high demand. This degree focuses on designing for interactive web media; UX design; photography; content management systems such as Wordpress; and creating/managing multimedia content to be delivered on the internet. All of these classes can be taken in hybrid or fully on-line formats.

Graduates are prepared for entry-level web development multimedia positions in business-oriented environments, or for the BAS-IS program.

With one of OC’s five IT AAS-T degrees, students can transfer directly into the Olympic College Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Systems (BAS-IS) program. The Evergreen State College also offers its “Upside Down” transfer option to students completing any of the five degrees. Students planning to transfer should work closely with an advisor at the baccalaureate institution before finalizing their education plan.
