Most of us use computers every day, but are you ready to move beyond simply being a user of someone else\u2019s program?<\/p>\n
Software development, the process of creative problem-solving using computers, is something that can be useful in all professions and job roles \u2013 even if you don\u2019t have a background in computer science.<\/p>\n
It has mass appeal across sectors and you don\u2019t have to be in a high-tech role to benefit from programming knowledge.<\/p>\n
Adding software development to your resume could give you the leg up in your next promotion or job search!<\/p>\n
That’s why Winona State University offers two completely online summer courses (3 undergraduate credits or 3.9 CEUs each) that are delivered and supported by faculty of WSU\u2019s Computer Science Department.<\/p>\n
Participants will learn Java programming and problem-solving methods, as well as software development, design, and strategies.<\/p>\n
Explore the two courses and learn how you can further your professional development.<\/p>\n

These courses are meant for employees from a variety of fields and want to improve their programming skills.<\/p>\n
Non-degree-seeking learners in the workforce are encouraged to enroll.<\/p>\n
Within our WSU community, non-Computer Science majors can build and diversify their resume by taking these classes.<\/p>\n
Current WSU employees and their family members may also find value in enrolling.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, current Computer Science majors or minors should not enroll in these courses.<\/p>\n
