Tablets are recommended as they have capabilities beyond a normal laptop and offer excellent in-class notetaking and searching utilities. For more information on Tablets, please visit Microsoft.

Purchase of both the "Pamplin Business Student Bundle" and the "Microsoft Campus Agreement Software Bundle" will still be required.
