I've never done a degree in web design, but in my opinion they're not at all valuable. Design is one of the very few things where your portfolio matters, not your qualifications. I mean sure a degree in design won't hinder you, but I would personally spend the time and money on building up a portfolio, unless you believe you will learn enough to justify the cost.
A degree in web design will not make or break you, web design is a skill that can't be "made" with a degree, unlike some professions.
- chris_j 16y agoIf web design is a skill that can't be made with a degree then how do you learn to be good at web design?
- vernabee 16y agoTrue that design cannot be "made" with a degree, but I hope by saying that you're referring to having "the eye." There is a great deal of philosophy, conceptual thinking, and larger design research that goes into successfully completing a design degree and being a good designer. Yes, you might be able to find it on your own -- but going to a good design school will really strengthen your ability to form your perspective.
