Computer Competency

Practical Computer Competency Requirement (PCCR) Examination

All pre-business majors must demonstrate practical computer competency prior to enrolling in BUS 211 - Managerial Statistics or BUS 230A - Financial Accounting, or any upper-division business core class.

Students must demonstrate basic, practical computer competency in the following areas:

  • Internet, Email, Slide Presentation, and the Microsoft Windows Operating System
  • Basic Word Processing Skills
  • Basic Spreadsheet Skills

Computer competency is demonstrated by successful completion of the Practical Computer Competency Requirement (PCCR) Exam. Students are required to have access to a working email account capable of transmitting the attached files necessary for completion of the PCCR Exam. Questions about the computer competency requirement can be emailed to the Department.

Computer competency, preparatory courses and lower-division core courses together constitute the Pre-major. A letter grade of “C” or better is required in each pre-major course. In addition to demonstrating computer competency, all the following coursework must be completed as part of the Pre-major program:
