About this course

Understanding Database Programming for your Indiana Tech credit.

What is Database Programming?

Database Programming is the study of how information is stored, organized, and retrieved in database systems. In this course, students learn SQL and database design principles so they can create tables, add and update data, and write queries that answer real questions from stored data. It also covers how to keep databases accurate, efficient, and secure.

How the course teaches you

Database Programming is taken online and at your own pace, with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The course grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is sent to Indiana Tech, the credit is recognized there as CS 2500 – Database Programming.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in SQL, database design, and data security that help students work with information more accurately and efficiently. At Indiana Tech, this credit can support degree planning in programs such as the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science, where database knowledge may fit into a broader technical or analytical path.

Skills you walk away with

Design database schemas using normalization principlesWrite SQL queries with SELECT, GROUP BY, and joinsCreate and modify tables with DDL commandsUse UPDATE, DELETE, and transaction control statementsBuild subqueries, correlated queries, and EXISTS clausesCreate views, indexes, and other schema objectsApply basic database security practices and SQL injection prevention

Taking this course toward Indiana Tech

Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps directly to a specific catalog course at Indiana Tech, which gives you clearer placement in your degree plan than a general elective would. Indiana Tech considers curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better, and up to 90 credits may transfer toward the degree. That matters when you are planning ahead for an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science at Indiana Tech, since transfer credit has to fit within the 75% maximum.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a clear transfer path to Indiana Tech and need a named course equivalency rather than a loose elective match. It is especially useful for people building toward Indiana Tech’s degree programs while staying mindful of the 90-credit transfer limit.
