Overview

This program develops user-friendly interfaces to database applications. A database application is made of data, a database engine to store the data, and an interface to extract and display the data. The skills needed to build a database application range from database theory and design, using a database engine such as SQL server, or Oracle, to programming in ActiveX Data Objects technologies to extract the data, as well as programming in Windows and Web applications on a client and server-side basis to present the data. In addition, with increasing concerns over security, a database developer must also be able to write secure code that runs with minimum risk of attacks. Upon completion of the program, students will develop user-friendly interfaces based on Windows and the Web to extract data stored in databases; incorporate different security techniques to ensure the safe display and update of data; interface databases to the Internet; and install and administer Database Management Systems. In addition, students will design, build and populate databases with data, and use programming languages and graphical interfaces to retrieve and manipulate data.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
