Overview

IT Database Administration is a two-year diploma program covering the identification, organization, analysis and storage of organizational data, with a focus on big data, cloud deployment and data security. Students develop database management skills, including writing data governance policies that guide the configuration of data management systems to ensure quality, availability, recoverability, scalability and security.
