Data Mining
Modern scientific and commercial databases
can contain massive volumes of data. Within
these records lies important information that
can only be effectively analyzed using techniques associated with the growing discipline
of data mining. This powerful technology is
capable of the extraction of predictive information from large amounts of data.
Data mining tools predict future trends and
behaviors, allowing users to make proactive,
knowledge-driven decisions. They explore databases for patterns, finding predictive information
that experts may miss because it lies outside their
expectations or their searching abilities. Data
mining is a process that uses a variety of data
analysis tools to discover patterns and relationships in data that may be used to make valid
predictions. Increasing, data mining is becoming
a fundamental component of all facets of business commerce, as well as Scientific discovery.
The Data Mining certificate is designed to
provide individuals in business and scientific
communities with the skills necessary to design,
build, verify and test predictive data models.

Database management is a diverse, rapidly
growing field. Relational database management
systems (RDMS) are used throughout the world
to effectively store, manage and share information.This certificate program emphasizes practical, hands-on instruction on how to configure
and administer relational databases, particularly
Oracle databases.
The objectives of the certificate are to provide students with general knowledge of database systems and concepts and the practical skills needed to administer modern systems. Curriculum is hands-on and lab-based.
Students will learn how to administer, backup
and tune an Oracle 11g database.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is a
relatively broad term that can refer to a number of different technologies, processes, and
methods. It is attached to many operations
and has many applications related to engineering, planning, management, transport/logistics,
insurance, telecommunications, and business.
For that reason, GIS and location intelligence
applications can be the foundation for many
location-enabled services that rely on analysis,
visualization and dissemination of results for
collaborative decision making.
There is booming application of these technologies. They range from simple GIS systems
embedded in most mobile devices to applications in engineering, planning, public health,
demographics, environmental and conservation, transport/logistics, insurance, law enforcement, telecommunications, marketing, and
multiple other business applications.
The GIS certficate will teach students the theoretical underpinnings of GIS in order to make
informed use of existing GIS applications and
gain skills needed to construct new applications
in the physical or social realms. The full range
of GIS capabilities is covered, including data
capture, analysis, modeling and cartographic
representation. The skills gained will be highly
practical with good, hands on, understanding of
the software used in GIS. In addition, we will
provide the students with a project of interest to
them or their employers once they master basic
concepts and tools used in GIS.

Java Programming
Mobile Device Programming
SAS Programming
Over the last few years, Java has taken the
software development world by storm, growing faster than any other computer language
or development environment. Java has been
closely associated with the World Wide Web;
but in actuality, Java is a language in its own
right.
Java is a simple, object-oriented, platform-independent language that can be used to develop
applets, servlets, and other applications. This
specialized certificate program provides concentrated study and working knowledge of the
Java programming language as well as objectoriented programming and design.
Employers from different industries are coming
to realize that in order to compete at the highest

Certificate, you will learn the skills needed
to program applications that run natively on
mobile devices. You will receive technical
training, which will teach various languages
needed to program for mobile platforms and
give you the theoretical knowledge that will
help you make good decisions in the development process.
This certificate is geared towards programmers
familiar with some programming languages,
such as JAVA or C++, who would like to apply
their know-how to the area of app development.
