Some programs may require additional technology requirements that are not mentioned above. Please refer to the section for your program within the Walden University Catalog to review any special technology requirements for the program of study. In addition, please refer to the section titled Student Technology Responsibilities under Technology Policies.

Students attending virtual residencies will have additional requirements. In addition to the current technical requirements for Walden’s online courses, the virtual residency requires you to have the following:

• Webcam (minimum resolution at 640x480 standard definition)
• Broadband Internet at 1.5 Mbps or higher (required due to streaming media needs)
• Video card with 64MB VRAM and pixel shaders or 4 texture units
• Screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher
• 2GHz Dual-core CPU or higher

During the course of the program, requirements (either hardware or software) may change from the original technology recommendation. Make sure to consult the software/hardware requirements within the program or with the faculty member or program director for any technology recommendations that may have changed since the original recommendation mentioned above or within the program of study.

You can also learn more information about the technology requirements at Walden in the Walden e-Guide.
