HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
Quick Answers
Are these “a la carte” courses anyone can take or do I need to register as a student and follow a program of study like a college?
The choice is yours. We have four different study options called “Tiers.” So you can find a study option that best fits your learning goals and preferences.
- So, if you are seeking a degree from us, then you need to take Tier 1 or Tier 2 courses.
- If you are not pursuing a degree from us, then you can choose from Tier 3 or 4.
- Anyone can take any course anytime, but Tier 1 courses have specific start and end dates.
- There is no application or registration.

How is this college related to Ariel Ministries? Is this an accredited program? What degrees will you be offering?
Ariel College and Ariel Ministries: Ariel College of the Bible and Messianic Jewish Studies is an online college and a division of Ariel Ministries, founded by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum.
Accreditation: Ariel College is not currently seeking accreditation. Our present focus is developing courses and programs that are well-pleasing to God and fully aligned with His Word and His will. If, in the future, the Lord leads us to pursue accreditation, we will do so.
Students who need an accredited degree for employment, denominational ordination, transfer of credits, or admission to another college or seminary should pursue a degree from an accredited institution.
Degree Program: Every Ariel College course completed for credit counts toward a degree in Biblical and Messianic Jewish Studies. We currently offer 25 courses, allowing students to earn an associate-level degree. Lord willing, we plan to add three to four new courses each year and eventually offer bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
Please click OVERVIEW on the navigation bar for more details.
How much do the courses cost? What is the refund policy? What does it mean to “audit” a course?
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.
What do I do if I want to take a course? Where do I start? Is there a contact person if I run into a problem or have a question?
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.
Please click the “Contact/Help” item on the navigation bar for more details.
Are there expiration dates? Do I need to know Hebrew or be Messianic Jewish to take courses or pursue a degree? How much work is there in the courses?
Expiration Dates: Students in Tiers 1-4 can access their course content for one year. Courses expire 365 days after purchase.
Jews and Gentiles: All are welcome! Students from many nations take our courses. You do not need to be Messianic Jewish to take our courses or pursue a degree from us. You do not need to know Hebrew or attend a Messianic congregation. We welcome students of any denomination, any race, or any ethnicity.
Academic Level: Our courses are designed to be challenging, college-level, but not exasperating. Anyone can do well in our classes if they make a genuine effort. Our exams are open-book and open-note, except for some biblical language courses and Bible memory verses. Exams have no time limit. You can retake an exam, and we keep the higher score.
Assignments: Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 have written assignments to complete. Tier 1 courses are considered the “Enriched Educational Program,” so there are more assignments, more variety, and greater interaction with faculty. Tier 2 written assignments can be spot-checked, so students need to save them on their computers until graduation.
Course Format: Each course is organized around modules, and each module has several components. A typical Tier 2-3 course has:
- Learning objectives
- High-quality video lecture presentations
- Required Bible, textbook, and journal article readings
- Optional readings for additional study
- Study questions
- Spiritual growth activities
- An open-note exam after a module or set of modules (these can be retaken)
- Tier 1 courses also contain weekly announcements
- Some courses require memorization of Scripture passages
- Some courses also include opening prayer and devotions with worship music, generally aligned with the theme/topic in the module.
Dr. Fruchtenbaum teaches many of the video lectures. However, he will not oversee each course or interact with students. Tier One courses will have an instructor who directs the course; it will be an experienced Bible teacher with a Master’s or Doctorate from a Bible college or seminary. Tier 2-4 students do not interact with faculty. Dr. Sigler, Dr. Adler, and other qualified professors also teach our online courses related to their areas of expertise.
