What colleges/universities have excellent, legitimate Web Design programs?

Asked by nashish (196points) January 25th, 2010

I am currently in the market to attend school again. I graduated from a small university with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design and have been unable to land an entry-level job. I have also noticed that many of the design jobs today are for looking for web designers. While I can design the “look” of a website just fine, my desire is to be knowledgeable of the coding needed to make sites swift and efficient. My hope is that, through schooling, I can improve my knowledge of the web and have a better chance in today’s job market.

With that said, I’ve been in contact with some very shady institutions concerning their web design programs. I am at my wit’s end with determining which programs are actually worth my time. I’ve looked at the Art Institute, DeVry, and some local community colleges; none of these institutions left me feeling completely satisfied. It seems these so-called “tech” schools just want me to take out humongous loans to fund my education. I need to sign up with an organization that will really teach me what I want to learn and well. Any advice you all could give would be greatly appreciated!
