About this course

Understanding Database Programming for your TESU 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 completed through self-paced online study with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split as 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to Thomas Edison State University, where the course is recognized as ITS-2310 – Database Programming, a named course equivalency in the TESU catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Database Programming gives you practical skills for working with stored data, and at TESU that preparation can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. If your degree plan includes business, technology, or data-related work, the TESU recognition as ITS-2310 – Database Programming can help you move through a required or elective slot with a course that has a clear catalog match.

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 TESU

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Thomas Edison State University applies the credit as ITS-2310 – Database Programming. Because this is a named course equivalency, TESU can place it directly into the degree plan as a specific course match rather than as an undefined elective. That matters in a TESU program because it gives you a clear way to count the credit toward your Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, or another eligible plan. TESU allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy within that limit.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a TESU transfer path with a named equivalency rather than an uncertain credit review, especially if they are building toward a degree plan under TESU's transfer rules. It may be less suitable for students who need a course that does not involve SQL, database design, or a final exam, or for anyone who is not planning to use the TESU transfer limit of up to 90 credits.
