Database Management & Business Intelligence Graduate Certificate
Database systems are the information heart of modern enterprises, where they are used for processing business transactions and for understanding and managing the enterprise. Business intelligence is the analysis of data to produce insights useful for managing the enterprise and, increasingly, in routine business operations such as intelligent supply chain management. Students who complete the certificate in Database Management & Business Intelligence will be prepared to design and implement both transaction processing and decision support databases and to use data mining technologies to discover the structure, trends, and relationships in the data to produce valuable business insights and effective decision support processes.
Program Options
Available on campus and in the following formats:
- Online
- eLive: By combining the convenience of online study and the dynamic of face-to-face learning, the eLive format provides added flexibility and new avenues of opportunity for those with demanding schedules. Each course for the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology combines online study with four on-campus Saturday meetings per semester.
Admission Information
Prerequisite courses or evidence of proficiency in these areas must accompany the application to the program. If college-level credit courses are not in evidence, the department will determine what prerequisite courses must be completed in addition to the graduate certificate requirements. Students claiming equivalent proficiency in prerequisite courses from non-academic sources must take an examination to demonstrate such proficiency.
Official transcripts of previous academic work, two letters of recommendation, personal statement and résumé are required as part of the application.
A maximum of two graduate-level courses (8 credits) taken at Metropolitan College prior to acceptance into the program may be applied toward the certificate.
Minimum passing grade for a course in the graduate certificate program is C (2.0), but an average grade of B (3.0) must be maintained to be in good academic standing and satisfy the certificate requirements.
Apply here.
