Technology Requirements

All Berklee NYC graduate students must own an Apple laptop computer that meets specific standards established by the academic and technology leadership. Your computer must be capable of running the most current Apple OS X operating system. In most cases, if your computer is less than three years old, your computer will meet the needs of your coursework. Please note, however, that, over time, older computers may become incompatible with newer applications and operating systems. Any of the current MacBook Pro laptop models meet the requirements. Additionally, review the entering student technology requirement guide for your specialization below.

You may also opt in to purchase a core software package that includes Apple Logic Pro X, Avid Pro Tools, Earmaster, MakeMusic Finale, and Microsoft Office.

These requirements ensure that all creative media and technology students have the tools to create high-quality audio and visual content using their own equipment. This software and hardware will ensure that the student can complete the required coursework, collaborate effectively, and interface with the Power Station.
