The product combines the full SPSS Base product, with no limitations, plus an additional 12 add-on modules for extended functionality. The add-on modules include: SPSS Advanced Models™, SPSS Regression Models™, SPSS Conjoint™, SPSS Categories™, SPSS Tables™, SPSS Trends™, SPSS Exact Tests™, SPSS Complex Samples™, SPSS Missing Values™, SPSS Data Validation™, SPSS Classification Trees™, and SPSS Neural Networks™ 16.0. The software is available in a one-year, non-renewable, single user license and includes technical support. SPSS Faculty Pack is sold exclusively online through E-Academy.

SPSS Graduate Pack and SPSS Career Starter

For students in more advanced quantitative courses or for students conducting graduate-level research, SPSS offers two other powerful packages: SPSS Graduate Pack and SPSS Career Starter Program. SPSS Graduate Pack includes a full version of SPSS Base (with no case or variable limits), SPSS Advanced Models™, SPSS Regression Models™, and Amos™ software for structural equation modeling. SPSS Career Starter Program includes the full version of SPSS Base (with no case or variable limits). Both the SPSS Graduate Pack and SPSS Career Starter Program have a four-year license and are for student home use only.

SPSS Student Version

SPSS Student Version is ideal for students who are just beginning to learn statistics. The SPSS Student Version provides affordable, professional statistical analysis and modeling tools to students. The easy-to-use interface and comprehensive online help system enable students to learn statistics, not software. The SPSS Student Version has a four-year license code and is for student home use only. It allows up to 50 variables and 1,500 cases. This software is unable to read SPSS command syntax, and scripting and automation capabilities are unavailable. Add-on modules cannot be used with this package.

The SPSS Student Version (ISBN: 0-13-228307-7) is sold and supported exclusively by Prentice-Hall. Many university and college bookstores stock this software; simply present your valid student identification to purchase. If your campus bookstore does not carry the SPSS Student Version, you can order the software online at www.prenhall.com, or ask the bookstore manager to contact the local Prentice-Hall distribution office.

The software is also available directly for students to purchase and download online. Or, instructors can select textbooks developed through the Integrated Student Version (ISV) Program that are bundled with the SPSS Student Version.
