About this course

Understanding Database Programming for your UoPeople 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 delivered through a structured online format with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, and the grade breakdown is 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you complete the course, the credit appears on your transcript and can be reviewed by University of the People, where it is recognized as CS 2205 – Web Programming 1.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills from this course help you work with data more carefully, whether you are organizing records, checking information for accuracy, or writing queries to find what you need. At University of the People, that credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, depending on how it fits your degree plan.

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 UoPeople

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it as part of its transfer process. If accepted, the registrar applies it as CS 2205 – Web Programming 1, which is a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because named equivalencies can place you directly into the matching part of your UoPeople degree plan instead of leaving the credit undefined. University of the People allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course can help you move forward without exceeding that limit.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students who want a transferable database credit that University of the People recognizes as CS 2205 – Web Programming 1. It can make sense for people who are building toward a UoPeople degree and want to stay within the 90-credit transfer limit, especially if they are trying to finish efficiently. It is not the best fit for someone who does not need database coursework or who already has enough transfer credit to reach the ceiling.
