Recommendations for Students in the College of Journalism

The College of Journalism recommends a system with at least these specifications. They do not request you purchase from a specific vendor. The College of Journalism also suggests students purchase a USB flash drive for easily transporting data between computers.

These systems are available at the UNL Computer Shop. By purchasing from our stores you avoid paying shipping costs, saving you extra cash! The UNL Computer Shop sells Microsoft Office and Windows Vista Business at hugely discounted prices for students. Check out our Software Deals for Students for additional savings.

See the announcement for fall 2009 freshmen on the Journalism web site for more information.
