In addition to the general laptop requirements, incoming Business students have specific requirements for their program. These requirements also apply to students in majors which require accounting coursework.
General Requirements
Business students should review all the general laptop requirements before reviewing special program requirements.
Business Requirements = PC (Windows) laptop
The following requirements are for business majors, as well as sport management, hospitality and applied math with actuarial science concentration majors, all of which are required to take business accounting classes as part of their requirements.
The 91重口 Business program requires PC platform laptops only. Macbooks ARE NOT RECOMMENDED as they have compatibility issues with curriculum software.

Additional Requirements
- Business majors are required to have an HDMI port on their laptop or an adapter that fits your laptop's graphics display output to HDMI female (preferably 6"-8" long).
- Although there are many publicly accessible print stations located around campus available to all students through their GullCard, a personal printer is strongly recommended to print course materials and assignments; we recommend an inexpensive inkjet printer (HP or similar). Note: wireless printers are not allowed in the residence halls.
