Computers
Courses integrate the use of computers as much as possible into the instruction. Many of the quantitative courses greatly benefit from the use of computers, and courses such as marketing and strategic planning are enhanced through the use of computer simulations. In addition to use in instruction, computers are used to enhance the learning community. Students can communicate with faculty, administration, and other students through a network. Study groups may interact with one another online in order to complete projects. Also, students have greater access to information sources through the Internet. It is the student’s responsibility to find a local Internet Service Provider (ISP) in order to gain access to e-mail and other Internet services.
Students entering the business administration major are expected to have some familiarity with personal computers, be able to work in a Windows environment, and be able to work with word processors and spreadsheets. If a student does not have these skills, help is available. Admission counselors or the assessment coordinator can supply training options on request. In addition, tutorials and training workshops are available in the area. The EXCEL program uses the programs of Microsoft Office for Windows 98.
