Many courses in the JMU business curriculum make extensive use of computers and software. Students are given hands-on experience in using computer technology to solve complex business problems. Computer labs are conveniently located in several academic buildings and residence halls. These labs are intended for quick, short-term use by students as an adjunct to their class time. Since computers are essential in today's business environment, students with majors in the College of Business are strongly encouraged to purchase their own personal computers.
Computers are available at discount prices from the university bookstore.
However, computers meeting the recommended configuration may be purchased from many retail and mail-order sources. Various vendors also provide rental and leasing programs. The interdisciplinary minor in conflict resolution in business provides conceptual, practical and applied knowledge in business and conflict resolution. The program is intended for students not majoring in programs offered by the College of Business or School of Speech Communication who need to supplement and augment their major area of study.
