“I had no idea how valuable the background classes in Web design and development would be when I started looking for a job.

“When my employer saw that I was able to communicate with both the design and development teams, she hired me on the spot.”

What Makes Us Different?

Holistic Approach

The web management program at Samford isn’t just a collection of disconnected classes. We take a holistic approach that starts with the big picture and never loses sight of it. Professors help students better understand the component parts of web management by clearly connecting classes and curricula back to the whole.

Experienced Professors

One hundred percent of our web management professors have held successful positions in industry. Program professors aren’t just teaching theory from a book; they’re teaching proven, real-world techniques from years of experience.

Web Management Incubator

As a nonprofit organization wholly owned by the university, our Web Management Incubator (WebMI) is at the heart of one of the most innovative teaching and learning programs in the world.

Donors pay WebMI to develop custom web solutions for nonprofit organizations at significantly discounted rates; students gain valuable experience; and profits are disbursed into a student scholarship fund that benefits current and future students in the web management program.

Career Preparation

Through internships at the Web Management Incubator, students combine skills learned in the classroom with practical, hands-on training provided by industry experts. Our unique, immersive approach prepares students to master a broad set of skills, gain a deeper understanding of the industry and develop real-world solutions while collaborating with design and development teams across the organization.
