Academic Premier Program

To meet the demands for quality teaching, advanced curriculum and more technically sophisticated graduates, your academic institution is constantly searching for innovative ways of acquiring the latest information technology while adhering to tight budgetary controls… SAS can help.

SAS meets the challenge of today's academic institutions and associated affiliates with a unique approach to solving even the most complex technology problems. Our Academic Premier Program™ gives academic institutions and its affiliates a competitive advantage in teaching and research, as well as operations and administration.

The program is divided into two service tiers:

• Silver Tier - provides customers with licenses for all core SAS Software and products, with unlimited users on unlimited machines per operating system environment.
  
• Gold Tier - includes the option to license additional select SAS Solutions.

Pricing for each tier offers significant savings over SAS' standard commercial academic rates.

The Academic Premier Program will provide academia the latest technology to streamline daily administrative activities. At the same time, the program will offer students hands-on experience in technology and communications and prepare them for the business world of tomorrow.
