Computer Requirements
Getting Up and Running
To get started in our online program, you’ll need a computer system and webcam with current specifications. Ohio University’s online degree programs use a learning management system called Blackboard. Please check below for more technology requirements.
1. Must have Microsoft Office 2010 (Must have Excel 2010 or higher for the PC).
2. Must have high speed connection. Mozilla Firefox is the required browser; Internet Explorer should not be used as a web browser.
3. Must have a webcam, headset, and a USB microphone.
Note: If you are a MAC user, due to compatibility issues, you will need to purchase additional software so you can run the PC version of Microsoft Excel 2010 or higher. One of the easiest ways to run Microsoft Excel 2010 or higher for the PC on your Mac is to purchase and install VMware Fusion 4 (~$36) for the Mac OS/X. VMware Fusion 4 will allow you to run a dual boot setup on your Mac computer. Thus, you will be able to choose to boot into your Mac OS/X or Windows OS. Thus, once you have installed VMware Fusion 4, you will be able to install Windows 7 ($70) and then install Office 2010 for the PC (~$70).
