Courses

MAPW students work and study in reserved office space with dedicated computer and desktop publishing equipment. The Masters' Computing Cluster (MCC) is fully equipped with current versions of all software that students need for their required courses including word processing, page layout, drawing, imaging, and Web authoring applications. Cluster hardware includes Windows and MacIntosh CPUs, zip drives, CD, burners, laser printers, and scanners. The English department's usability testing lab allows students to conduct user tests of software and print documents, capturing user performance with digital video for subsequent analysis and editing. Students in the MAPW program may make use of Carnegie Mellon's on-site print shop, which provides Linotronic printing and other imagesetting services. These and other facilities provide MAPWs the singular opportunity to become knowledgeable about the conventional and electronic publishing techniques demanded by today's employers.

Prospective students considering a computer purchase for use related to the program should consult the Program Director.
