College of Dental Medicine
Laptop Requirement 2015
The College of Dental Medicine considers it essential to train DMD students in the
use of computers to prepare them for the practice of dentistry. While most students
already own a computer with or without the laptop requirement, the requirement
assures that all student computers meet certain minimum technical requirements.
This consistency simplifies troubleshooting and support and assures a level
playing field for all students in the program.
