    it should be part of any MBA program. was yours a graduate level course?

    the introduction to information systems is what my class focused on. no spreadsheets or anything like that just ERM and computer systems. it did not get too technical.

    i would say based on the description, your class qualifies. but waht do i know, im just a guy on a forum.

    If I'm understanding your post correctly, this is the requirement:

    C: Compu Lit/Intr CIS (Completed)
    > Complete 3 hours in an introduction to information systems,
    > introduction to computers, computer literacy, or an intro
    > ductory computing course with applications such as word pro
    > cessing, spreadsheets, and databases

    And this is the course you took which you think fulfilled it:

    Src Course # Title S.H. Grd TESC # Notes
    1.. ITE115 Computer Applica and Conc 3.00 B CIS107
    *CC *TE

    With just a course code and title, I can't tell you whether or not it would fulfill the requirement. Do you have a course description for ITE115? That might help us give you a better opinion. Still, as eesti pointed out, we're just a “guy [or gal, in my case] on a forum”, so our opinion doesn't amount to much. However, with just a course code and title, our opinion is worth even less. 🙂

    I took a course with basically that title, but it was a 200-level course, that would have met the stated requirement. Its course description was:

    BUS 260 Microcomputer Applications (3)
    Microcomputer use in business examined
    in detail. The student gains profi ciency in
    the use of Microsoft, Excel, Access and
    PowerPoint. This course will prepare students
    technologically for upper division courses and
    the work place. Prerequisite: CPS 150. (Offered
    in fall and spring.)

    Very similar to the requirement description. So, if your course description was similar to mine, I'd say you'd meet the requirements. But, just because our course title is similar doesn't mean our course description is similar. You should be able to find your course description by Googling for the course catalog for your institution for the year you attended, then searching within it for the course you took.

    Thanks for responding. I am going to just pay the $100 so I can get an official answer.
