Computer Literacy / Intro. to Computers

Brookhaven College offers popular three or four-credit-hour introductory courses covering the basics of computers and their use. They are available in full semester, minimester, self-paced and online sections. If you’re not computer literate and would like to be, sign up for a section. You’ll learn:

In Lecture:

In Lab:
  • introduction to Windows
  • introduction to word processing using Microsoft Word
  • introduction to spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel
  • introduction to Internet
  • introduction to databases using Microsoft Access

Approximately three to four hours of lab work per week is required for a standard semester course. This course is supported by a dedicated lab featuring high-speed personal computers and up-to-date software. Lab assistants are always on hand to assist you with problems or questions about the labs.

There are three introductory course numbers – COSC 1300, ITSC 1401, and BCIS 1405– and they are NOT interchangeable. Which one is right for you?

If you: Enroll in:
  • plan to earn an Associate in Arts or
  • plan to earn an Associate in Science or
  • don’t want a degree, but plan to transfer this course to a four-year school

Get in on the computer revolution with COSC 1300, ITSC 1401, or BCIS 1405, and you’ll never have to say you don’t know a thing about computers again!
