Can I install Microsoft Access on Mac OSX?

Microsoft does not make a version of Access for Mac OSX. The student will need to use a Windows computer for the class or install Parallels Desktop for Mac.

The use of Parallels Desktop for Mac is a common work around for Students or Faculty that need Windows to run a program that is not compatible with Mac or that requires Windows for a specific course.There are other ways to run Windows on a Mac but would need to consult a professional/technician for assistance with that advice or process, including installing and using Parallels.
