Note: The Project Management specialization requires the use of Microsoft Project. The software will be provided in trial form, but there is not a Mac version available in this software. Students in this specialization are required to use Microsoft Windows, XP, or Server 2003 or later. Since Mac users may experience difficulty using the software, we recommend the following: (1) Mac users should be prepared to utilize a PC during this course, or (2) Mac users should purchase the appropriate software or hardware to be able to replicate the Windows environment on their Mac.
