Drew University no longer provides students with a copy of this software, but students taking a course that uses it will get information from their faculty about how to purchase it. 

The information below is the most current information we have been able to gather and is shared in the hope that it can help those looking for it. 

Please note that the University's technology teams cannot assist with the purchase, installation or activation of this software.

System Requirements

Operating System: Windows (7 or later), macOS (10.13 or later)
RAM: At least 4 GB
Hard Drive: 4 GB free space
Processor: Intel or AMD x86-64

Note: According to IBM, one cannot run SPSS on iOS - so no iPads. 

Buy the Software

The required software for STAT 117 is IBM® SPSS® Statistics 29 GradPack. It is available for Windows or MacOS and will run on any laptop that meets Drew requirements. The software is currently available for $34.45 (six-month license) at the following link: https://onthehub.com/products/4089c65e-9133-ed11-814e-000d3af41938 You will need to specify that you are buying the 6-month license of the Base GradPack before you can add the software to your cart. Use your Drew email address when you buy the software. The "Access Protection" add-on is not required, so long as you save the download and activation code (see below). If you need SPSS for a different course or for research, check with your instructor or research mentor to be sure you are purchasing the correct version.
