Why a degree in Software Development? You probably know how a current skill set in and practical knowledge of software development can open doors for professional growth. But imagine how many more doors will open for you when you have a bachelor’s degree as well. SNU is one of the very few universities which provide the opportunity to get both in one convenient program.
The languages and practices used in software development change swiftly and demand not only technical expertise and analytical talent, but also interpersonal skills and problem-solving ability. The SD degree-completion program is designed to hone all your skills so you can improve your position and income with the workforce. Courses are delivered in a small group format to enable quick, in-depth learning from professors and other adult students who help support you along the way.
In short, a Software Development degree gives you the tools---and the edge to compete, now and in the future.
The Software Development (SD) program is a Bachelor of Science degree and is designed for adults who have already earned 60 or more transferable college hours. The SD program is offered in Bethany.
