Required Laptop Program

All Montserrat students are required to arrive on campus with a laptop that meets their curriculum requirements and an external hard drive for transferring and backing up work. We have outlined the basic requirements for a laptop below, along with some model recommendations if you will be purchasing a new computer. Models listed here are suggestions, any laptop that meets hardware requirements will suffice.

Meeting the minimum requirements is essential to a successful educational experience – increasing the specifications beyond the minimum required can prove helpful over the course of the program, especially for students that have an interest in digital concentrations and may need a high-performance computer as their work progresses over the years. Montserrat provides the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite ($50/mo value) and Microsoft Office Suite for the duration of your time here.
