Technology

A list of recommended technology specifications for students (see chart to follow) has been developed.  

Please note that some programs (Architecture, Multimedia Communication, and Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography) require very distinct specifications for computer hardware, operating systems, and software.

If you are unsure of the appropriate laptop for your program, please contact your Program’s Director.

These specifications work for most departments and programs. The College of Professional Studies and the Communications & Science Disorders Department have a preference for Windows-based Laptops meeting either configuration above.

Specific operating systems/requirements are listed for the following majors:

*Marywood students are eligible for Microsoft Office 365 Web and Desktop versions. A link to request a license can be found on the IT Help Desk - Student Help website:  http://www.marywood.edu/helpdesk/student-help.html

The Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography majors in the Art Department have a preference for Mac-based Laptops with the “Recommended” configuration or higher.

Architecture requires all majors to have a laptop with a strong preference for Windows-based laptops, meeting the minimum specifications listed above.  More details can be found on their website:  http://www.marywood.edu/architecture/students/laptop-program/

Multimedia Communication requires majors to have a Mac Computer meeting at least the Minimum specifications with the Recommended specifications preferred.

Marywood has implemented Apps Anywhere, a virtual app solution that will allow students to remotely run many of the software applications that are provided in the computer labs on campus.
