Below is a short list of software you’ll need to complete your studies at CUNY’s Graduate School of Journalism. You will be responsible for the installation of all software on your personal laptop. Starting in May, and continuing throughout the summer, the IT department will be in touch with you with instructions on purchasing and installing the various software packages. We’ll be spreading the installation over the summer so you will have time to become familiar with all of the software prior to the start of school.

You’ll be expected to arrive to your first classes with your laptop, all of the software installed, and your media drive set and ready to go.
