Computer Requirements

Because you are reading this, you probably have or are capable of having the computer technology needed to enroll in NRES 600.

The main body of this course is delivered completely on-line so you must be connected to an Internet service provider.  A recent Internet browser is recommended (Netscape or Internet Explorer 4.0 or newer).  Netscape is available for PCs and Macs and can be downloaded here.  Internet Explorer is also available for PCs and Macs and can be downloaded here.
