Why does CLA place an emphasis on computer skills?
Strong computer skills are a must for every college graduate. One goal of the College of Liberal Arts is to make programs and opportunities available aimed at building technological abilities and confidence in liberal arts students. The CLA has instituted technology initiatives that enhance students’ educational experience, skills, and professional training. The CLA believes ours graduates are the best of the best – they have strong communication and critical thinking skills, they know how to implement research design and data analysis, they have in-depth knowledge of one or more specific field of study, and they have a range of computer skills. These core liberal arts skills and vocationally-centered computer proficiencies groom CLA graduates for the current information-based economy and for a lifetime of growth and scholarship.
