I am finishing my BA in Psychology on the 14th of next month. This is the only online course I have taken, so I have nothing to compare it with. I had approached several colleges which offered online formats. Ashford was the only one that actually responded by phone. This ...

Love the classes - frustrated with admin

I have been enrolled with Ashford since January 2007 and my experiences were great up until last October. The school changed it's stipend disbursement process requiring 7 weeks of coursework completed before receiving 30% of a students stipend and the remaining 70% would be disbursed upon completion of 14 weeks. ...

Never In my life have I been so shocked
July 16, 2009
I have never in my life been so disgusted with a so called university. getting enrolled was no problem whatsoever, just like everyone before me has attested to. Once in my class (ADULT DEVELOPMENT) I was first shocked at a few of the students that couldnt even put a sentance ...

If you are serious about entering the field of psychology, then a BA in Psychology from Ashford is not going to get you far. For one, most careers in Psychology require a BS in Psychology--that means the degree is SCIENCE-based. Take a look at your state universities and you'll see that all of their Psychology programs are for BS degrees--not BA's. Because Ashford does not offer real science or math classes, they can only offer BA's. Yes the degree is accredited, but that doesn't mean much to an employer if you haven't received an education relevant to the work you're pursuing.

I am a single mom with two teenagers on their way to college in the next few years. I was laid off in November and have made a very sincere to find employment but so far I am hitting a brick wall. I think I could or should look at this unemployment time as a gift that I should take advantage of and to show my girls how to make lemonaid out of lemons. I have been employed as a executive assistant or as an executive secretary with a salary under $40,000. My choose of schools is Ashford's on line program and my goal is to a earn a BA in psychology. My question is for anyone out there, with a BA in psychology from Ashford --Were you able to find employment? What is the salary range and in what field? Also do you feel an online degree is concidered, by employers, less than a tradition university degree?

I have been enrolled at Ashford since '06 and have enjoyed every minute. I do not agree with Mr. ThinkAboutIt stating that it does not mean anything to employers. Especially if you are going to continue your education in Grad School, the BA in Psychology is a great first step. Do a search for jobs for BAs in psychology and you'll find careers out there. Obviously, you'll get more after you receive an advanced degree. Stick to your goals and you'll go far.

I am an online student at Ashford and I an in my second class. I wish that I had did some research on this school. bbefore I enrolled. but how can you when you have the enrollment advisor constantly calling and don't know how to take a hint. So here I am. I want to concentrate on substance abuse which they don't have so he enroll me in social science then I researched with the boards in my state what I needed to have as far as hours of different classes. which is something that ashford doesn't have, so I decided to change my major to psychology and still the problem is the same.so I'm going to finish this course and another then get the hell out and go to my community college and then transfer over to So journor douglas.
this online college is to expensive with there hidden fee their is a 990.00 technology fee for black board that they don't tell you about and others. you have to pay for your own books which are rather expensive including shipping and handling fees.I have financial aid but I still had to take out a student loan. I'm going to get out before anymore money is sent to then. I would advise anyone not to attend .

You might want to look up the differences in why someone would go for a BA instead of a BS in psychology. If your focus is research based, you would need a BS if you want to be a therapist in a clinical setting, most people recieve a BA. Either way you have to go on to get your Masters to do anything in psychology and by the time you recieve that, no employer is going to care what your bacholers focus was, they will only look at the fact that you have a masters. Plenty of psychologists only recieved a BA for their bacholers and have had no problems getting a job.

Hi All, PLEASE do not go to Ashford. Their psych degree (as well as all of their other degrees) are worthless in the real world. Yes, you are probably a very smart person and great student...so go to a real university. Put in the time and effort and give yourself what you deserve. I am a college counselor who knows better! An Ashford degree will not help you in the long run. An online degree from Ashford will only give you huge student debt, a worthless piece of paper, and false hopes.

CampusGal why do you say they are worthless? Have you personally not been given a job because you have an online degree? I am in the process of deciding to do this or not. I am a mom of 2 little boys and I work full time. My community college is 30 minutes away. Universities are too expensive and time consuming. I need classes on my time. You are going to have debt from college no matter where you go aren't you. More so if you attend a traditional university, right?!? What is actually that bad about it?

I am in my 3rd year at Ashford University and it has been a very interesting experience. Meeting new people and discovering new challenges have been great. My advisor is the best and she sends me my class schedule for 6 months at a time. I love it!
