Computers are a very important part of an Eller student's education. They are a major purchase and require careful and reflective thought before choosing a system. The Eller College strongly urges business students to purchase their own PC-compatible portable computers. Many courses in the MBA and undergraduate programs are quantitative and require the student to use a computer to process data.
All classes require reports, term papers, and presentations that a computer can readily assist with.
The College does have a graduate student lab and two undergraduate student labs, but demand for these machines at certain times is very high and there is no guarantee that one will be available when needed. Eller College does not provide software for use on non-College owned machines. The basic guidelines are listed below for both desktop and laptop computer systems. Immediately after the guidelines is some information that you should take into consideration as you make your purchase. Remember that most undergraduate students will be in school for 4 years.
