Software

Recommended minimum requirements for laptop and desktop computer purchases.

We are pleased to support both Windows and MAC desktops and laptops in the College of Business.  As such, there is a wide variety of software that we regularly install and assist with.  To help you in your teaching and research, we offer a site license at no cost to you for SPSS, Mathematica and Qualtrics Survey Tool.  Other software often used and available for purchase from the Computerstore includes Adobe Acrobat, SAS, Matlab and more.  If you have any questions/concerns, please email itsupport@smeal.psu.edu and we'd be happy to assist.

The RIIT Group also offers a hosted virtual machine that you may access should you have any concerns regarding installing/testing software on your machine.  The VM is restored to its original state nightly so is a great option for testing.
