The Darden School has an integrated computing environment supporting over 175 microcomputers and three Digital VAX 4000 minicomputers. The School's computer lab houses 24 microcomputers and 5 laser printers for use by students and executive education participants. There are microcomputers in each classroom connected to large screen projectors. All the School's microcomputers are connected to Darden's Local Area Network, the University's network, and the Internet. In addition to Darden software and data, the network supports access to the University's computing resources, including an IBM 3090 mainframe and several UNIX machines.
Students can dial-in and remotely access electronic mail and class related data.
Since the use of microcomputers is integrated into the curriculum, all students are exposed to a variety of microcomputer applications. First-year students are exposed to spreadsheet, word processing, data analysis, and presentation graphics software. Use of computers in both the first and second years is designed to provide an understanding of the role of computing in information gathering and decision-making contexts. Library The Camp Library of The Darden School is a working library designed primarily to provide vital support to students in course work. There is also a current collection of materials on business and the social sciences.
