Dr. Doviak is only requiring the textbook, but the calculator book would probably be a helpful reference tool. It is not, however, part of the curriculum.

More about our members »

Great Plains IDEA has so many benefits for its students. The ability to continue my education while working full-time and growing my family has been a huge benefit for me. Earning the Student Excellence Award will greatly benefit my family as we begin our lives with our new daughter because we can use it to pay for the rest of my tuition and will not have to budget in finishing my degree.
