Computing Facilities


The College of Business (COB) has three microcomputer labs and one statistics lab. These labs are configured into four Novell local area networks and connected to EKUNET. EKUNET, managed by Academic Computing & Telecommunication Services, provides access to the University's centralized computing facilities as well as to the Internet.

Each COB faculty member has a private office equipped with a microcomputer system. During the Spring 1997 semester, 38 Pentium computers were purchased for faculty. All faculty are also connected to the University-wide network and COB Web server.
