The faculty and administration of the School of Nursing (SON) are committed to preparing nurses to participate in a technologically sophisticated health care system. Many of the courses within the programs in the school have assignments that require using computers to access information and assignments. Additionally, much of the communication about information valuable to students is distributed through the email system.

To facilitate student's success, the faculty and administration have adopted a list of computer hardware and software standards that students must have access to, a list of computer skills that are believed to be essential for program and career success, and a list of resources that students can access to gain the skills recommended.

The SON has been fortunate to develop WEB support for all courses in all programs the school offers. This support is based on WebCT. Each course will have WEB support this way. Each faculty member will determine how much the WebCT is used in individual courses.

We look forward to working with you as you participate in the educational programs at UTMB.
