Laptop Computer Program
Arcadia University provides a new laptop computer to every entering PA student. The PA program has incorporated laptop technology into its classroom and clinical components. The laptops connect to the University network and the Internet through a high-speed wireless system. All students receive a Dell laptop that includes a CD burner, a wireless modem, Microsoft Office and other special software. The University's Office of Information Technology provides any necessary support and service. Students who are lacking in computer skills have the opportunity for training when they enter the program. The fee is payable over the life of the program. Upon completing the program, the student keeps his or her laptop computer.
