Computer Requirements

Students enrolled at Emmaus University are required to have a laptop* computer. Here are our recommendations for a computer for incoming students:

PC

CPU

10th, 11th, 12th, or 13th Generation Intel Core i5 or i7 (i5-1135g7, i7-1165g7, i7-10750H, etc.)

or

At least a 5th Generation AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 (5500U, 5600H, etc.)

RAM 8-16GB DDR4 or better
SSD At least 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, 512GB Preferred
OS Windows 11 64 bit

 

Apple

CPU/Model

2018 or newer MacBook and MacBook Pro models with Intel Core i7 or Apple M1, Apple M2

RAM 8-16GB DDR4 or better
SSD At least 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, 512GB Preferred
OS Latest supported on the particular model

*We specifically require a laptop rather than your choice between a laptop or a desktop because all students are required to purchase a specially priced (greatly reduced from the retail price) package of digital textbooks from Logos Bible Software as part of their textbook package. This software will be used in class in some of your Biblical Studies courses.

Computer Labs & Printing

There are also a number of computer labs available for student use around the campus that are equipped with useful software for students. The library has a printer that all students can access through the Student Wi-fi network. Students can print to that printer free of charge.
