My goal is to become a good web developer. I'm interested in learning how to build complex websites as well as how to write web applications. I want skills that will enable me to write apps for <--insert hottest web trend here-- (Facebook & iphone apps for example)
This is one of my goals as far as Tech. is concerned. I'd also like to have a brod knowledge of different areas of IT.
I'm looking into majoring in "Computing & Security Technology". The program is offered by Drexel in conjunction with my CC. It's a 4 year degree.
Can someone take a look @ the pdf below. It outlines every course I must take.

For degree requirments w/ links to course descriptiongs see
drexel.edu/catalog/degree/ct.htm
With electives I can go up to Web Development 4.
Based on my goals of Web development & wanting a well rounding education in information technology, what do you think of the curriculum?
How will I fare entering the job market with this degree? My goals here are a little different. I'd like to work for 2 to 3 companies over the course of 6-7 years. Working with and learning different areas of IT. I'd like to stay with a company an average of 2-3 years before moving on.
My end goal is to go into business for myself (IT related).
I appreciate any and all advice the community here can give me! :)
Could someone also explain to me their interpretation of this major? thanks!
P.S. I already know XHTML & CSS. I am just now starting to experiment with PHP.
