If it's anything like my university was, computer science has the emphasis on science. In the end it was a whole lot of different kinds of esoteric math. As such I don't think Web Development is part of a high-level CS curriculum, the same way you won't find automotive mechanics in high-level physics -- it's just another application of the subject, it doesn't cut to the heart of the matter.

Check in other curriculum's, maybe you can find something more practical as an elective. Sometimes engineering has its own programming classes.
