Oracle Academic InitiativeThe Oracle Database Management System has long been the product of choice for mid- to large-sized companies requiring robust, reliable data management capabilities. Oracle database administrators do much more than manage database systems. They work with developers on business applications that require interaction with a database, they work with business analysts in identifying the best database solution strategy to meet business objectives, and they ensure that a company’s data are secure, available, and accessible to employees, clients, suppliers, and others who rely the data to carry out their business tasks.

Who Should Enroll

This program is best suited for individuals who enjoy working with computers, have good problem-solving skills, and are willing to work hard. For those who need it, the non-certified course Designing Relational Databases provides foundational knowledge of database principles and architecture that is needed to work with Oracle. Some prior experience with programming or scripting is helpful in this course but not strictly required.

Career options for certificate recipients focus on the role of the database administrator (DBA). With additional experience, you might advance to such positions as data architect, business analyst, or chief information officer (with appropriate college degree and/or employment experience).
