Computers
for Business
One and Two Year Certificates
Computers can process masses of information
rapidly and accurately. A computer operator controls a computer as it
processes data, sets up and starts the machine, feeds in data, and monitors
its operation. The programmer prepares detailed instructions (a program)
using computer languages to direct the computer through the steps needed
to complete an operation. A computer specialist with accounting skills
will be able to understand the accounting language and computerize the
data to produce special accounting reports and functions. West Shore offers
a One-Year Certificate in Computers for Business and an Associate of Applied
Arts and Sciences in Computers in Business. |
