Per WGU's published description, Web Design Fundamentals provides students with essential web development skills, guiding them through the creation of accessible, responsive, and interactive web pages. Students gain hands-on experience in HTML, CSS, and foundational JavaScript: structuring content, applying styling, and adding dynamic functionality to enhance user engagement. The description emphasizes industry best practices, key aspects of web accessibility with a focus on WCAG compliance, and core UX and UI principles to ensure usability for diverse audiences, and it closes by stating there are no prerequisites for this course.
Placement splits by degree family. On the B.S. Computer Science and the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS table, E009 lands in term 2 beside C958 Calculus I, D685 Practical Applications of Prompt, and D684 Introduction to Computer Science. On the B.S. Information Technology and the accelerated BSIT-to-MSIT table, it waits for term 6 beside D315 Network and Security - Foundations, C957 Applied Algebra, and D318 Cloud Applications. One naming note: the other web course in this catalog, D276 Web Development Foundations (ITSW 2120), is a different course on the software engineering, AI engineering, and data analytics tables; the September 2026 catalog gives the computer science web slot to E009.
