Students learn Microsoft Office programs, including Word 2016, Excel 2016, and PowerPoint 2016 in the Computerized Business Applications class - generally taken as a freshman or sophomore. Students then focus on specializing in each of the three programs after learning the content. Once the students become proficient in the program, they take a nationally recognized test to prove their knowledge of the software. If they pass, they are awarded with a Microsoft Office Specialist Certification. After students certify in one area, they focus on another area. These certifications are made possible by a Perkins grant through the Arkansas Department of Career Education.
