DU Software - SPSS Statistics (Campus-Wide Use)

 

 

What is SPSS? 

 

SPSS Statistics is a software package used for logical batched and non-batched statistical analysis.   

The University of Denver now has switched over to the “authorized user” license format.  This license will work for all academic and administrative purposes across campus.  You do not need to utilize the VPN for installation or to use while you are away from campus. 

Anyone with an official DU login now has access to a fully licensed version of IBM SPSS.  Students, Faculty, and Staff have full access to the entire software.  

 

***Please uninstall any previous versions of SPSS before upgrading***
