All School of Business students are required to demonstrate competency in Excel 2007 by earning a passing grade in one of the following:
- CSIS-010 Introduction to Computer Applications
- CSIS-011 Problem Solving with Spreadsheets
- CSIS-SSX Spreadsheet Competency Exam.
Most students meet the requirement by taking CSIS-010 or 011. About 20% of the students who take the competency exam pass it, so only students with advanced skills in Excel 2007 should attempt to meet the requirement by taking the exam . All Business students should seek to meet this requirement during their first year as a School of Business student. Transfer students might be able to transfer credit for either CSIS-010 or CSIS-011 (More details about the exam are available at this website: https://sites.google.com/a/siena.edu/excel/.
