Program not compatible w/ my Mac

I have to download this marketing simulation program for school, but they don't have a version for Macs. I own a laptop PC, but I don't want to bring that to school, where my iMac is. What are my options?

From the program's site:
Q: I need to install the simulation. However, I use a Macintosh and need to know if the software will work with my operating system.
A: We do not support the Mac Operating System. The software does seem to work with some of the Windows Emulators for the Mac.

What exactly is a Windows Emulator? I have a program that allows me to view my PC on my iMac (I forget what the program is called...), but the PC needs to be on for this to work...

Could I install the program on a flash drive and then use it on my iMac, or would that not work?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You will need a program like VMware Fusion, Crossover...or you can install windows via bootcamp.

Assuming you own a Intel Mac.

There is crossover, parallels, VMware, Bootcamp. All require you have an Intel Mac, not because of them, but because of Windows.

Bootcamp comes with Leopard, the others are an additional cost. The nice thing about the others is you don't have to stop running Mac OS X to run Windows, which you do with Bootcamp.
