BUS 20101 - The Computer In Business


This course provides an intermediate level of instruction for two of the most widely used database and spreadsheet programs:  Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel. Students are immersed in realistic business scenarios and learn how to analyze a variety of business problems to help make important decisions.  In particular, the course provides an orientation to database design and spreadsheet design from an end-user/manager perspective. This is mainly a hands-on class, and the students will become very familiar with the various features and functions of Access and Excel by the end of the course. (NOTE: the programs used in this course are available on only computers with windows-based operating systems. An Apple or MAC computer is not suitable for this course as there is no Microsoft Access equivalent program available for them).  Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
