A laptop is an essential tool for graduate students. It allows them to access online resources, communicate with their professors and peers, and complete their work. Private, public and non-profit universities offer laptops to graduate students because they understand the importance of technology in today’s world. The benefits of such programs include:

  • Increased access to information
  • Improved organization of information
  • Increase in research productivity

In the field of law, Harvard Law School offers a laptop program to help students stay connected and productive while on the go. The school provides MacBook Pro laptops to all incoming students, ensuring that they have access to the latest technology and software. Similarly, in the field of medicine, the University of Michigan Medical School offers a laptop program to help students stay organized and efficient. The school provides Dell laptops to all students, along with software and technical support to help students make the most of their devices.

Graduate School that offer laptops

In addition to Ivy League schools like Harvard and the University of Michigan, many schools in the Big 10 and Pac-12 conferences also offer laptop programs for graduate students. For example, the University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a laptop program for students in the School of Business, providing them with Dell Latitude laptops to help them stay organized and productive. Meanwhile, the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) offers a laptop program for graduate students in the field of engineering, providing them with Dell laptops and a range of software and technical support resources. Other schools in the Big 10 and Pac-12 conferences, such as Ohio State University and the University of Oregon, also offer laptop programs for graduate students in a range of fields, including social sciences, teaching, and public administration.

For those seeking accelerated, competency based graduate degrees, schools in the same peer group as Western Governors University, Walden University and Capella University unfortunately, we could not find any laptop programs. However, Strayer University does provide laptops to eligible students. According to its website, students who enroll in a bachelor’s degree program at any Strayer University location or online and have at least six courses to complete in their program can apply for a new laptop starting spring, summer, or fall 2023. If the students complete three of their first four quarters of enrollment, they can keep the laptop at no additional cost, but if they do not complete three of their first four quarters of enrollment, they will be charged $350 to keep the laptop.
