Orlando, FL, Aug 17, 2011 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- IADT-Orlando recently updated its curriculum to include two new Web Design and Development degree programs. Students can choose to pursue either an associate's degree or a bachelor's degree, whichever fits their educational and career goals.

Students can also gain fundamental knowledge in topics such as search engine optimization, human-computer interaction and client-side scripting development.
