Macintosh computers may not be compatible with some of the business Rice Business recommends the use of Windows based machines for the most seamless compatibility with most business applications. Students who prefer to use a Macintosh computer may elect to do so, but should note that some applications utilized in a few of the courses. There are workarounds, but if purchasing a computer for the program, and for the best user experience, we suggest a windows based machinecourse may not be best suited for Macintosh systems; workarounds may be possible to address these issues for Macintosh users.
