The College of Education and Health Sciences recommends that all incoming, transfer, and returning students have a laptop computer to complete their coursework. At the current time, these specifications are a recommendation, but will become a requirement for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Minimum specifications are noted below. If you would like to invest more, we recommend the following in prioritized order:

Other Financial Considerations
With purchase receipts, the expense incurred to purchase required technology may be used to increase private or PLUS loan amounts. It is important to note that increases in cost of attendance for required technology will not result in an increase in scholarship, grant or work-study funding. Please contact the Bradley University Office of Financial Assistance for further information at [email protected].
