Ariel College and Ariel Ministries: This is an online college named Ariel College of the Bible and Messianic Jewish Studies. We are a division of Ariel Ministries.  Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum founded it.

Accreditation: We are not currently seeking accreditation. Our focus now is to develop our courses and program in ways that are well-pleasing to God, so we are fully aligned with His Word and His will.  If, at some point, the Lord wants us to seek accreditation, then, of course, we will do that.  If you need a degree from an accredited college for work/employment, for ordination from a denomination, to transfer credits to another college, or to apply to another college/seminary, then you would need a degree from an accredited college, so Ariel College would not be the right choice in such cases.    

Degree Program: Every course you complete for credit counts towards a “Biblical and Messianic Jewish Studies” degree from Ariel College. We currently have 23 courses, so students can earn an associate-level degree. We plan on producing about three to four new courses per year. We currently offer an associate-level degree.  In the coming years, Lord willing, we also plan to offer bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Please click “OVERVIEW” on the navigation bar for more details.

Costs: Each course has four study options (we call these “Tiers”). Tiers 1-2 are full-credit courses, and Tiers 3-4 are non-credit (audit-only) options.  For more information about the four Tiers, please click the “CHOOSE A PLAN” item on the navigation bar. Course prices range from $75 to $495, depending on what Tier and course you select (course prices do not include books). For specific prices, please click on the “COURSE CATALOG” on the Navigation bar.

Refunds: If, for any reason, you are not pleased with a course, we offer a 7-day refund policy on all courses.  This is a 100% refund.  This does not include your textbooks or mp3 audio course lecture sales. 

We are committed to very affordable pricing for our courses. 

Audit Only Courses: Tiers 3 and 4 are non-credit courses. Tier 3 students have access to the curriculum but can bypass (skip over) anything, such as assigned readings, written assignments, Bible memory verses, and exams.  However, you do not get credit for the course, and it does not count toward a degree in Biblical and Messianic Jewish Studies. Tier 4 courses only contain video lectures.

To Begin: To begin, you will need to read Steps 1-3: “Overview,” “Choose a Plan,” and “How to Start.”  Then, you can look through the courses in the “Course Catalog” section of the navigation bar and order whatever course you want. 

Contact and Help: There are many ways you can get help. If you have a specific question about our college, you can contact the administration by email: Admin@ArielCollege.com.

 If you have any technical questions (login issues, course access, other IT problems), current students can use the live chat or phone hotline we offer through Canvas.
