Overview and Courses
Proficiency in structured query language (SQL) is fundamental for anyone working with data. Used in organizations large and small, learning SQL will prepare you to quickly query raw data and transform it into meaningful visualizations using tools like Tableau to help you make business decisions.
This certificate program is designed to help you analyze data in a relational database and develop your understanding of the relationship between SQL and data visualizations. You will use SQL and fundamental database concepts to create a normalized database, manipulate the data within the database, and extract the data from the database, discovering how to convert business questions into SQL queries that extract answers from your data.
After developing your skills working with databases, you will take raw data and create data visualizations using Tableau. You’ll explore a wide variety of charts and learn how to select the best chart to convey the meaning in your data. This combination of being able to both work with and present data to key stakeholders will prepare you to bring value to any data-centric organization.
You will be most successful in this program if you have an understanding of basic statistical concepts.
System requirements: To complete this course, you will need to install Tableau Desktop Public on your local device. While this software is free, you will need to create an online Tableau Public account to download the Tableau Desktop Public package. You will also need administrative privileges to install this software on your device.
Refer to Tableau's System Requirements for up-to-date information on supported devices to check your device compatibility.
This program includes a year of free access to Symposium! These events feature several days of live, highly participatory virtual Zoom sessions with Cornell faculty and experts to explore the Data Science industry’s most pressing topics. Symposium events are held several times throughout the year. Once enrolled in your program, you will receive information about upcoming events.
Throughout the year, you may participate in as many sessions as you wish. Attending Symposium sessions is not required to successfully complete the certificate program.
Course list
Data drives many real-world endeavors, which means that storing and accessing the data is foundational to success. Relational databases are an industry-standard data storage mechanism for maintaining data integrity while allowing flexible data retrieval.
You will begin this course by examining the basic table structures that form a relational database. Using the relational database format, you will define connections between your data fields and determine how those can be expressed. You will then practice normalizing a relational database to ensure data integrity and reduce redundancy. As this course concludes, you will use a relational database system called OmniDB along with structured query language (SQL) to retrieve specific information from the database.

Relational databases are workhorses which form the backbone for much of the information we find at our fingertips on the internet. In this course, you will learn to create and modify databases using OmniDB and structured query language (SQL) to import data, create tables, and modify fields. You will also practice cleaning data to maintain your database and ensure that it provides accurate information. As the course progresses, you will identify questions you want answered and practice translating those questions into SQL. You will also examine different forms of outputting data from a database, including outputting to a program or text file and outputting CSV text.
You are required to have completed the following course or have equivalent experience before taking this course:

I like to think outside of the box, and this program from eCornell helped me conceptualize how I want to approach data problems going forward. I was able to actually apply new course concepts to my work, rather than simply repeat steps with different values.
