Computers & Supplies
As an incoming DAAP student, you have specific materials to be purchased based on your major. All students are required to have a laptop. Every program has slightly different hardware and software recommendations.
In addition to a computer, supplies are required for all studio-based programs. The Supply Kit is a set of starter supplies that can be purchased through the DAAP Art Store or Plaza Art (both local vendors). Additional supplies listed are required but are not included in the Supply Kit.
Supply Kits and computer recommendations will be available to purchase in mid-June. If you have any questions, reach out to the DAAP Student Affairs Office at 513-556-1376.
