Computer Recommendations for Burrell College Students
Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine is a bring-your-own-computer campus. A computer will be required for almost every element of your courses. Below you will find the Minimum and Recommended Specifications.
You will need to have Administrative Privileges on your computer. A web camera, microphone, and wifi capabilities will be required. A touch screen / pen based computer is recommended for note-taking, image manipulation, and similar functions. While not a requirement – this option will enhance your experience, and allow you to interact with some of the 3D software more effectively.
Please note that an Apple iPad by itself is not sufficient for all aspects of the curriculum and exam administration. Chromebooks do not meet the requirements for certain software packages used by students and therefore cannot be recommended
