About this Product

This pass is the tuition for the full ARU Certificate program. The ARU Certificate program is a 28-credit curriculum comprising required and elective courses. It is designed to be completed within two years, but students may take up to three years to complete it. This pass is only available to new ARU students who have been admitted to the program.

The tuition is paid in 24 consecutive monthly installments and this payment schedule unchanged is whether a student completes the program in more or less than two years. For students who do not complete the program in three years, additional time to complete it may be granted at ARU’s discretion, and may require additional tuition fees.

Payments begin on April 1 for students who purchase the pass prior to this date. After April 1, payments begin on the date of purchase.

This pass will automatically reflect any financial aid that has been granted. To request financial aid (which is issued in the form of a tuition discount), submit a financial aid request and await our response before purchasing your pass.

About Ayn Rand University

Ayn Rand described Objectivism as “a philosophy for living on earth.” This idea is at the heart of the Ayn Rand University, an online school of philosophy whose mission is to educate our students about Objectivism and to provide them with the intellectual, career, and life guidance they need to flourish.

Ayn Rand University provides an online educational experience, giving you the flexibility to attend from anywhere in the world. Each quarter, you’ll take one or more courses that feature lectures, graded assignments, classroom discussion, and feedback from our expert faculty. You may also meet regularly with one of our mentors, who will work with you to help you reach your learning and career goals so you can achieve success in thought and action. Though our program is demanding, most students find that they can succeed by devoting about 10 hours a week to their studies. And while we strongly encourage live attendance, all of our classes are recorded so that you can conveniently fit our classes into your schedule.
