Additional Software Required by Academic Program

 

Note: Microsoft Office is required as part of the minimum system. An add-on cost of more than $150 is usually required to purchase this software license from the hardware vendor.  This application is available for around $10 to U.C. students through a contract between State of Ohio Universities and Microsoft.  Students should purchase a portable computer without Microsoft Office and should obtain the media for latest version and install the software themselves.  More information about UC's Microsoft software contract can be viewed at http://mscontract.uc.edu/
