Browser Requirements

To access Wright State's online courses, you'll need a computer with an internet connection and a recent version of one of these Web browsers:

  • Internet Explorer for Windows
  • Firefox for Mac or Windows (Strongly recommended)
  • Safari for Mac or Windows
  • Other browsers may work fine, but are not officially supported by the online software.

Individual classes may have additional software requirements.

Computer Requirements

Most computers made in the past three years would be up to the task. A minimum of four gigabites of RAM are recommended newer computers running the latest operating systems. You may get by with less RAM, though, if you are running an older operating system, such as Windows XP.
