Academic Questions

Operating System

The OIST Graduate School will supply you with a personal computer, which will become your primary work tool. There is a choice between a 13" MacBook Pro or a Dell Latitude. Both come with the standard software package for general productivity. Research specific software may be added later, as needed, using OIST site licenses. The computer remains the property of the Graduate School, and may not be modified, engineered, opened, or mistreated, to avoid damage and maintain the warranty.

Which operating system do you prefer? *

Macintosh

Windows 10

Note: OIST will provide other software as needed, either from our licensed software server or by supplying you with the necessary license key. Alternative operating systems (e.g. Ubuntu Linux) are your own responsibility. Storage on these laptops is more than adequate as we encourage use of the OIST networked student storage, and research unit storage, which have massive capacity and reliability. Users of the OIST network may only connect to the network using sanctioned devices. Other details of the computer support will be made available later, but the intent is to remove technological impediments to learning and research for our students.

By submitting this survey, I accept the enrollment offer by OIST based on the terms I have chosen above. *

Research Rotations

An important part of the OIST program is the research rotations. During the first year, all students are required to do three rotations to experience a range of scientific approaches and to broaden their skill set.
