ArsDigita University (ADU) was a one-year, intensive post-baccalaureate program in Computer Science based on the undergraduate course of study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It was financed and supported by the ArsDigita Foundation, a non-profit organization begun by ArsDigita Corporation. The majority of the instructors were professors from MIT and the program was tuition free.

After running from September 2000 through July 2001, seeing the first class to graduation, the dissolution of the ArsDigita Foundation forced the program to shut down. Some alumni hope to recreate this model for university education elsewhere, perhaps in different fields.

Course materials from the university's year are available for free use under the Open Content License from aduni.org, a website maintained by alumni of the university, where its course materials are hosted. That site exists to carry on the school's mission of supplying free education, and streams ~150GB/month of lectures to people around the world.

A 7-DVD set containing the course materials is available for a fee.
