The concept of ArsDigita University was to offer bright and motivated college graduates an
undergraduate level major in computer science in one year with minimal
interruption to their lives. Normally, these people's options would be limited.
Many universities do not allow college graduates to enroll in an undergraduate
degree program, and at best one might be able to sample extension school
classes a la carte over a period of several years. Master's degree programs
are not appropriate either, because they require extensive preparation. The university offered a quality undergraduate education based on the courses offered at
the country's best computer science schools (and often taught by the same
professors). It provided its graduates with a solid foundation in
academic computer science, preparing them for graduate school or for jobs in the
industry. Finally, and not least, the program was offered completely free,
in keeping with its commitment to create "the best computer science education
for everyone."
