Welcome to Computer Applications. The design of the course is to familiarize students with three software programs in the MS Office XP suite. Students will learn and work with features in MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint. Students will also learn computer basics and be exposed to different operating systems and some of their features.

All students are strongly recommended to join BPA to compete in marketing events.
