Database & Intelligent Systems

The Database and Intelligent Systems concentration prepares students for careers in database design, database administration, database application development, or database systems implementation.

Database design focuses on modeling some aspect of a physical or conceptual world that must be captured in a database as part of a larger application system.

Database administration (DBA) focuses on installation, operation, and maintenance of a database system and its applications on a day-by-day basis for an organization or company.

Database application development focuses on building complex application systems, including web-based applications that use a database at their core.

Database systems implementation focuses on creating the underlying database system itself and is most likely done with a career in a database vendor company.
