THE ROLE OF MICROCOMPUTERS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF THE UNIVERSITY Biola University believes that the microcomputer is an.increasingly valuable tool and that one of our educa tional goals should be to prepare students for a world iri which the computer will continue to play a significant role. Accordingly, it is our desire to integrate computer usage into the university curriculum. Thus, the University provides access to Macintosh microcomputers for every student and requires their use in freshman English. It is the intent of the University, over time, to require the use of these micro computers over a wide spectrum of the curriculum. The microcomputer of choice at Biola University is the Macintosh. The computer centers and Macintosh labs located across the campus help provide the necessary micro computer access for students. Additionally many students have chosen to acquire their own Macintosh. This microcomputer, along with a variety of software and hardware accessories, is available for purchase at the Biola Bookstore at very attractive prices for fulltime students.
