Before beginning a degree program, it's a good idea to review your technology setup and make sure it's in good shape for online courses. Here's what you'll need to get started:
A desktop, laptop or tablet computer
Internet access and an up-to-date web browser
An email account (though you will also be given a school email address upon admission)
Video chat capability (webcam and microphone)
Streaming video and audio capability
Word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software or apps
These are the basics, but each school has its own technology requirements. Be sure to check with your program for further details before you take your first course online.
