Computer Requirements

The MS-Tech Program requires that all students own a laptop computer. Computers are an essential tool for conducting business and delivering educational material. The University and the College of Business provide an infrastructure that allows students to access electronic information from anywhere at anytime. A wireless network is available in much of the College of Business. The University provides free remote access to our network and the internet through a dial-up bank. There are access ports for laptop computers in the MS-Tech classrooms as well as in various locations throughout the buildings.

The program recommends Tablet PC. Tablet PCs are fully-functional laptop PCs and more. You can use the pen directly on the screen just as you would a mouse to do things like select, drag, and open files; or in place of a keyboard to handwrite notes and communication. Unlike a touch screen, the Tablet PC screen only receives information from a special pen. It will not take information from your finger or your shirt sleeve—so you can rest your wrist on the screen and write naturally.

This is a perfect computer to take notes in class, do homework and work with your team members. Many class rooms and buildings have wireless connectivity and you can easily take advantage of this using a laptop.
