All students are expected to have working knowledge of Excel prior to entering the program. I have had a number of business undergraduate courses. In the lockstep program, all students are divided into teams that all take the same classes together. In the interest of teamwork, there are no exceptions. I understand students work in teams in the lockstep program.
Teamwork is an important part of our program.
In the first semester of the lockstep program each student is assigned to a team of five to seven students. The teams are chosen to include a mix of backgrounds and skills, such as computer experience, accounting or finance experience, etc. Teams are reassigned for the spring semester. Attempting to transfer from one program to another may result in a substantial loss of course credit. The course focuses on business basics and team building and provides valuable information to students new to the OU campus.
