Internet Connection Speed (Liberty University Online):
You will need a reliable, high-speed internet connection. Courses are most compatible with Chrome or Firefox.
School of Engineering (On Campus & Liberty University Online):
As School of Engineering uses CAD Software for 3D rendering, they have slightly higher computer requirement standards. "Each student is required to have a laptop, and the laptop configurations viewed at the link below represent minimum hardware and software requirements that enable students to run the core software required by Engineering. Students can choose between a Windows-based or Apple laptop. Typically, Engineering students run into software issues when they use an Apple computer. In almost all classes, the Engineering software requires Windows. Since Apple computers use the same Intel chips, they can be configured either to boot up in Windows (using free software, such as Bootcamp that is provided by Apple) or utilizing VMware Fusion to run Windows in parallel with Mac OS. However, some engineering software used in our department may not perform well under those conditions; a full partition and dual boot environment on the Apple machine is recommended if you choose to use an Apple computer for all of the Engineering software in our program. If you choose to dual boot apple and windows on an Apple laptop, be sure to specify an HDD twice as large (min 1tb)."
