Computer Standards for Students
The College of Nursing requires that all students in the Nursing Program have a notebook/laptop
computer that meets or exceeds our posted minimum standards. This computer is essential for use in completing research, exams, academic, and
communications tasks. You can purchase a new computer or use a computer you already
own, provided it meets the minimum standards.
