Database Administrator Certificate (Post Secondary)

This certificate program provides students with the necessary background in preparation to take the MCDBA (Microsoft Certified Database Administrator) exams. The focus is on providing the content necessary to be successful in those exams. This is NOT certified by Microsoft, and passing the MCDBA certification exams is not required to earn credit for these courses.

Students must satisfy the prerequisite, if any, of all courses in the program by either completing the prerequisite courses or by demonstrating to a computer technology faculty member that they have otherwise met the prerequisites. A minimum of 15 hours of coursework must be completed at Kent State University.
