Computer Literacy

Basic computer literacy is expected of all incoming students. Essential skills include being able to traverse the Microsoft Windows desktop and operate commonplace software applications, especially word processors and spreadsheets; properly create, edit, save, retrieve, and convert document files from/to different formats; comply with simple file-management systems, directory structures and drive configurations; and use e-mail and the internet. All translation and interpretation courses are taught in a PC laptop environment. PCs are strongly recommended over Macs since many applications used do not operate well or at all on the Mac platform.
