IA Minimum Computer Requirements


Innovation Academy requires students to have access to and on-going use of a laptop or mobile computer for IA courses in order to fully engage with in-class research and projects. We recommend purchasing a computer with as much memory and processing power as reasonably affordable. However, the Innovation Academy does not make any specific recommendations regarding your choice of Mac or PC computers. The official UF policy for student computer requirements is provided by the UF Information Technology department.
