Online Study—Student Computer Literacy

All graduate students are expected to have a working knowledge of, and access to, a basic word processing program such as Microsoft Word or WordPerfect; a spreadsheet program such as Lotus, QuattroPro, or Excel; electronic mail service; and the World Wide Web.

Graduate students who require further training in the use of Internet services and basic software packages may wish to take one or more of UMUC’s undergraduate computing courses. To obtain a copy of the UMUC Undergraduate Schedule of Classes or speak to an undergraduate advisor, students should call 800-888-UMUC (8682) or send an e-mail to umucinfo@umuc.edu. Schedules of Classes and Catalogs are also available for download from the UMUC Web site at www.umuc.edu/gen.

Graduate classes vary in the extent to which computers and software are employed. In some, the primary use is to facilitate communication and ensure basic technology literacy, while in others students are required to use complex software packages that run on powerful machines.
