Erudt University has confirmed that no program requires students to buy software. Every tool named in a module guide is either provided by the university or free to use.
This matters most for online students, who study tuition-free and should not meet a hidden cost in the form of a licence.
Programs with heavier software use, such as Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity and MS Sustainable Energy Engineering & Policy, rely on the university's GitHub Student and JetBrains access.
Business and social science programs use Microsoft 365, Canva and Notion, all provided with the @erudt.com account.
If a module guide names a tool that is not covered, students should contact [email protected].
Erudt University was founded in 1988 and teaches from 99 Brattle St, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States, with tuition-free online degrees open to students in the United States and abroad. Questions go to [email protected], and applications start at erudt.com/apply.
