摘要：This study investigated the current status of computer literacy requirements in public universities and their colleges of business throughout the U.S. A review of 274 public universities accredited by the six regional accrediting organizations recognized by the Council for Higher Education and the U.S. Department of Education revealed a split decision as to whether computer literacy is mandated as part of core competencies to be completed in all bachelor’s degree programs or whether it is expected of entering students. Even though less than 50% specified computer literacy competency in their liberal arts or general education core coursework, over 60% of the colleges of business within those schools do include a computer literacy course within their core or pre-business core curriculum requirements. Most often the course is offered in a three-credit-hour format. Options such as competency tests (or remedial modules or coursework for those who do not pass the test) are specified at some institutions instead of a required course.
