Academics

Students may enroll in a maximum of two Farmer School of Business minors. Some minors are available to students on a first-come, first-served basis while others have entry restrictions or requirements. Therefore, to increase the likelihood of gaining entry into a FSB minor, interested students should contact the department offering the minor as early as possible in their academic careers. Completion of a FSB minor may require taking coursework during summer and winter terms and/or online. Advisors are also happy to assist in your academic exploration. We encourage you to use advising support throughout your time at Miami to meet your academic and professional goals.

Connecting your PC to Wireless

I will be enrolling in the Farmer School of Business; they recommend Windows Notebooks, but I prefer to use a Mac. Will that be a problem?

The Farmer School of Business recommends using Windows laptops (PCs) over Apple (Macs) because this best coordinates with our learning environment. There are various projects involving specific software in which a PC is used to teach. It is, therefore, easier to also use when out of the classroom. It is not a requirement that a PC be used, but it is a strong recommendation. Students who wish to run Windows using Apple’s Boot Camp technology or in a virtualized environment (using software such as Parallels or VMware Fusion) may do so. However, if the Windows environment on the Mac does not properly run the software, students will need to seek their own solutions as the Farmer School of Business does not have resources to support the use of applications in these environments. The burden of support will be on the student.

Printing

Our computer labs are set up with pay-for-print laser printers (both color and black/white) for student use.
