SAS and JMP, at no cost to ECU.  Minitab, cost not known to me.  
SPSS, at a cost that is making us reconsider making it available.  No longer 
can students get a free copy for home use – but it is not all that expensive 
for them to purchase.

Actually, and for the reasons you state, we are reconsidering SPSS at this time.

Subject: [tips] Stats software in grad school..

Hi, All --

A little unscientific poll for you.

We consider our program to be a grad-school-prep program, and have been doing 
pretty heavy instruction in SPSS, thinking that when the students get to grad 
school that's the package they're most likely to encounter.

That was certainly my experience a few years ago, but I'm wondering if we're 
thinking right, today.  Should we move to a different stats package, or is SPSS 
still pretty common.

Since IBM bought it it's gone through some changes and seemed headed much more 
toward business applications, but this last year they seemed to realize that 
schools were a large part of their clientele, and have made pricing a little 
more reasonable (although still hideously expensive).  Here the departments 
that want that package buy it (IT decided to cut its budget by pushing things 
off onto departments), and so I want to do right by my students, but have to 
think "thrifty."

So, the poll: for those of you who work in departments that have grad programs, 
what stats software packages are available to your students?

Thanks!
