Database Management


Computer Science
Database Management Option
Associate of Applied Science

The database is now the underlying framework of the information system and has fundamentally changed the way many organizations operate.  While databases are often created and maintained by information technology professionals, today’s business management professionals are designing and creating their own database applications. 

Data is the lifeblood of computerized applications.  Virtually every area of management uses databases:  marketing professionals to analyze sales data, human resource managers to evaluate employees, operations managers to track and improve quality, accountants to integrate data across the enterprise, and financial analysts to analyze a firm’s performance.
