Microsoft Office contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Office 2016 is available via Microsoft Office 365.

Office 2011 is still available to students, faculty, and staff via IUware.

Office 2019 for Mac was launched in September 2018 as an update to Office 2016 for Mac. However, some of the new features had already been available as part of the then-called Office 365 subscription. If you already use Office on a PC or iPad, you will find yourself right at home in Office 2016 for Mac. It works the way you expect, with the familiar ribbon interface and powerful task panes. Mac users will appreciate the modernized Office experience and the integration of Mac capabilities like Full Screen view and Multi-Touch TM gestures.
