Proficiency

Computers

You should be well-versed in PC and Windows operations, and have a good working knowledge of
Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Familiarity with Photoshop InDesign, AutoCAD, and GIS is also
helpful, but not required. Temporary demo copies are typically available from the software providers and
there are a wide range of free tutorial sites online to get you started (lynda.com can be a good resource).
The OSU Digital Union also provides workshops on various software. OSU also offers a variety of public
domain, bulk purchase, and site-licensed software to the OSU community. For students interested in
purchasing software at lower prices, check opportunities from techHUB or the Wexner Center for the Arts
Store, and the Apple Authorized Campus Stores at Ohio State University
