About the Initiative

Moore College of Art & Design is committed to providing students with the resources necessary to achieve the highest level of excellence in their chosen field. Moore is, therefore, making a major investment in the laptop/wireless initiative to expand access to digital technologies essential for today's professional artists and designers. At Moore, we believe that a laptop computer is an essential tool for educating women for careers in art and design. Therefore, Moore requires all new BFA students to purchase laptop computers prior to the start of fall classes.
