My undergraduate college had us use Mathematica or Matlab for graphing, symbolic manipulation and numerical computations on homework. (Computer software is more powerful than graphing calculators, makes prettier pictures and it’s much easier to share the code.) Nothing beyond a standard scientific calculator was allowed on exams.

I would not invest money into a fancier calculator until you know that you’ll actually need it.
