Idaho State University Undergraduate Catalog 2008-2009
Computer/ Business Equipment Technology
(2 Semesters)
Instructors: Hill, McElhinney
Objectives:
1. To
develop entry-level skills in repairing and servicing business equipment.
2. To develop entry-level skills in setup and maintenance
of computer networks.
Courses listed will be taught in sequential blocks of instruction. Successful completion of a course is required before the student can progress in the program. If the student fails any math, theory, or lab course, then that course must be repeated and a passing grade of C- or better obtained before the student can advance in the program. However, a C- could prevent a student from graduating if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0 (a C- equals 1.7). A student must have a 2.0 GPA in the program's required curriculum in order to be eligible for a certificate or degree.
Upon completion of the Associate of Applied Science degree, a Bachelor of Applied Science degree is available to a student with the completion of formally approved academic courses.
Program length will vary depending on student's academic qualifications at time of acceptance.
