BOOKSTORE AND MATERIALS
Textbooks and Supplemental Reading Materials
Required course textbooks are listed with MBS Direct, although students may purchase
textbooks from other sources. Select the San Francisco Bay Area Campus or Argosy Online
option, then your course number. Section letters are important if more than one is listed. Phone
orders (800.325.3252) are faster than Web orders; however, for Web orders, there is a 20%
shipping discount for items shipped via UPS overnight or 2-day service.

Electronic Books
Some programs will utilize an electronic book(s). Once registered for a course, a student will
gain access to their electronic book three days prior to the course start and through the online
platform. Students will have the option to print the e-book one time. Students will also have
the option to purchase a hard copy of the textbook through a third party at their own expense.
Computer Lab
There are 23 computers (in the computer lab and library) with Microsoft Office 2007, several
assessment scoring programs, (Rorschach, CVLT, & D-KEFS), Statistical Package for the
Social Sciences (SPSS), the library catalog, and the Internet. All Library and Computer
Lab workstations have APA format as the default setting in Word. There is a high-capacity,
high-speed, printer.
