Semicolon

I am unsure if this sentence is using semicolons properly. Any tips you can give me would be appreciated.

While at University, my major was computer science. I am familiar with the software development process; from requirements gathering, through design, implementation, testing, documentation, and maintenance; working both individually and in a group setting.

Thank you!

Would "analysis" or "specification" be better than "requirements gathering", Art?

I don't think so. A semi-colon is used in a sentence instead of 'and' or a full stop. A colon is often used to introduce a list.

It seemed like something was wrong with that sentence.

I think that does sound better. Thanks for your help everyone!
