Do you enjoy using creativity, logic, and analytical skills to solve problems . . . or find yourself wanting to know how computers do what they do? A career in Database Programming could be the right move for you!
Computer programs tell the computer what to do, which Database information to identify and access, how to process it, and what equipment to use. Programs vary widely depending upon the type of information to be accessed or generated. For example, the instructions involved in updating financial records are very different from those required to duplicate aircraft conditions for pilots training in a flight simulator.
This hands-on, interactive educational program equips students with the computer programming and information processing skills required for career-entry positions in a wide range of positions. Students are introduced to a variety of operating system environments and programming languages.
In 2.5 years, you can earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer and Information Science with a concentration in Database Programming.
An Associate Degree program is also available which prepares the graduate for entry level employment in the Database Programming field.
