Computer Requirements for Students

Summary

In order to be successful in your courses, we suggest these minimum computer specifications.

IMPORTANT:

These are intended to be current minimum specifications for your computer to be successful in classes. You may wish to exceed these recommendations. If you have regular access to the open-access computer labs on campus, such computers already meet or exceed the suggested specifications.
Devices meeting only minimum specifications may need to be replaced during your tenure at Missouri State.
Your department may have additional program-specific requirements.
Chromebooks, iPads, or other tablet devices should be considered supplemental and are not sufficient to complete all necessary course work.
