Below are the minimum recommended device requirements for a successful learning experience both on campus and remotely across all the SMPH educational programs. A general rule of thumb for laptop hardware would be to plan to replace it around every 4-5 years from date of last purchase to ensure that you are able to run the latest operating systems and security updates. SMPH learners are expected to have regular and consistent access to a device that meets these minimum requirements.
