Recommended Computer Systems & Your Knowledge of the Computer

Our computer environment is intuitive and easy to use; however, students will need to have basic knowledge of computer skills, word processing, and Internet use. At orientation students learn how they will use the computer during their program of study and how they will communicate with both their faculty and classmates. Students new to computers are encouraged to enroll in a computer course prior to orientation. Computer specifications change over time. Generally a computer (Mac or PC) that is 2-3 years old with a good internet connection will be sufficient for the program. As a guide, see the most recent specifications outlined by the university: http://www.philau.edu/oit/computingsupport/documentation/
