It is absolutely possible. My University offered them.<p>Now what I am about to say is "unfair" but realistic: Many people within the technology world won't respect a Web Development degree as much as other similar degrees. They're seen somewhat as an "easy" degree where you learn "soft" (non-transferable) skills.<p>So you might graduate and be great at PHP/MySQL/etc web-apps, but ten years later you need to learn some new language, and how flexible will you be? A Web Development degree only marginally adds to your flexibility.<p>My University offered the following courses: Computing, Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Web Technologies. Here's a brief overview of them:<p>- Computing: Computer Science without the Maths (it is actually fairly theory heavy in programming, software engineering, and computers in general). Just CS if you took out the maths and put in other generic computing courses in their place.<p>- Computer Science (same as Computing but with a lot of maths classes and less generic filler)<p>- Software Engineering: "The business of software development" (this has all of the 101s from above, but is more business focused and management focused, it is a software project from the top down for medium to large-ish teams).<p>- Web Technologies: Same 101s as all of the above but in the final years you don't do maths OR heavy theory, but instead do actual practical web development (using Java, PHP, and similar).<p>CS is the most well respected, then I'd say Computing and SE are similar, and finally Web technologies is last. SE has a nice niche for people who already have the industrial experience but lack a degree (essentially turning them into a future manager). SE is quite popular at Masters level after people do a CS at degree level (again, for manager credentials).<p>There's also a lot of Game Development degrees around now, and some fledgling "Mobile Development" ones. I have no knowledge of how respectable Game Development degrees are in that industry but I will say a Mobile Development degree suffers some of the same pitfalls as a Web Development degree (no flexibility, just platform specific knowledge).<p>So decide wisely. As a final thought: Whatever degree you pick make SURE it is one you're going to be able to pass and finish. The most important part of a degree is frankly a piece of paper that you spend $30-60K on, everything else, including actual learning is almost secondary. There are far too many CS washouts who couldn't cope with the maths and who should have just done Computing or heck even Web Development (since a "lesser" degree beats no degree at all).
