Laptop Requirements

For the 2024-25 school year, all students are expected to have a laptop that meets minimal specifications. They are listed here: https://success.bju.edu/student-computer-requirements/.  The minimal specifications are acceptable for Computer Science, Cybersecurity, and Information Technology majors.

Note for Mac users: MacBooks are acceptable. However, you will need to use Boot Camp or a virtualization software package to run Windows on your MacBook because some campus software and Web applications work only on Windows. The newer Macs ship with Apple's new M-series chips. We have not encountered any problems with students using the newer Macs.

Recommended Specifications

  • i7 processor
  • 16 GB RAM 
  • 512 GB SSD  
  • Wireless network adapter
  • Windows 10 or 11 OS. Computer should be Windows 11 capable.
