USC KECK TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS

All entering medical students at the Keck School of Medicine of USC are required to own a laptop computer that you will use both in class and during proctored examinations. Students are also required to have, at home, a duplex (two-sided) printer and high-speed Internet connectivity to share documents with faculty, staff, and other students and to access online instructional content.

Incoming students can use their existing laptop computers provided that those laptops meet the minimum specifications listed below. We strongly suggest that your laptop exceed each of these minimum specifications. While a laptop that simply meets these minimum specifications will be adequate to begin medical school, it may not serve your needs throughout your four years at USC and may cause issues streaming live lectures in your first two years or during National Board of Medical Examiners’ examinations in years three and four.
