Are you a student interested in Ayn Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism? Check out two new resources to help you in your intellectual pursuits:
1) The Ayn Rand Institute Campus:
ARI Campus is a multi-media educational experience, offering a range of courses for those completely new to Ayn Rand to those committed to a deep understanding of Objectivism. Course video and audio is recorded in our professional studio, and all courses are broken up into easily digestible modules, have a high level of interactivity, and are supported by a wealth of supplementary materials. Additionally, ARI Campus offers a rich community environment: students are able to create a personal profile and connect with classmates in various ways to discuss the courses they are taking and share information with one another.
ARI Campus will launch with nine courses that vary in length from sixty minutes to six hours, including “Ayn Rand: The Radical Thinker,” “Moral Virtue,” and “Ayn Rand: A Writer’s Life.”
ARI Campus goes live on Tuesday, January 10th at 7pm ET. More courses are in the pipeline and will be offered once completed.
