BEWARE!! Go somewhere else for your advanced degree
January 9, 2012
If you are thinking about getting a Project Management M.B.A. from Ashford University then STOP NOW! and go somewhere else. Ashford University FAILS to review the Project Management Body of Knowledge, which is REQUIRED for both the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) AND the Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications. Ashford's Project Management Specialization is not really an M.B.A. either since they do not discuss business plans. Be warned, don't waste your time or money ...

Been a student at Ashford University since 2007, Currently in thier MBA program
November 19, 2011
I have been with Ashford since 2007, I have attained my AS and my BA. I have read all reviews and have to say that Ashford is not a diploma mill, when I slacked off in class my grades suffered and when I worked hard, they were great. My employer (Top employer in its industry), recognizes my degree and has seen the knowledge I have attained through Ashford University. Some people are quick to give ...

Decent MBA education for a decent price
November 4, 2011
I am a recent graduate of the MBA program at Ashford. Some courses were rigorous and others came a little easier.. for me because I had experience. I recommend the MBA from Ashford if you are a working professional who is looking to get ahead in your career and need to complete an MBA program. The coursework may come easy to those with experience in the field. It is not an easy A for those ...

Easy A
October 7, 2011
If you want an easy degree, this is the place to get it. I completed my MBA at Ashford University with a 4.0. I barely had to work to get A's in all of my classes. If you just turn in your work, you're pretty much guaranteed an A. There were students that copied my discussions word for word without any repercussions. I informed the teacher of these students, but the teacher didn't do anything ...

Progressive Improvement
September 27, 2011
I am a proud, recent MBA graduate of Ashford University. I had an instructor or two that I felt could have exerted more effort and things did not always go perfect. The other eleven or twelve instructors were outstanding. I put an effort into my reading, my discussion answers, and my papers that gave me maximum value for my future. The program will develop your writing skills to the point you feel you could write ...

Good program
September 11, 2011
Classes are interesting and practical. Most instructors display knowledge and participate with interactive discussions. Reading some of my fellow students discussion boards, I question how they have made it into an MBA program. If you want to learn...you can learn in any program as long as the materials and instructions are provided to you...Ashford University does provide a good avenue to learn. For a "for profit" institution, Ashford does a good job.

MBA
August 20, 2011
I am working on my MBA. Classes are very challanging especially accounting, finance, and economics. I am learning real life needed educational experience in order to do the job. I will recommend this school only and only to those students who actually want to learn because in many traditional schools, degrees are easy to obtain since most students are doing a group homework and cheat all the time. Trust me on this. I graduated from ...

I'm thinking of applying to the MBA program at Ashford.Could anyone advice me if I should do that or not?Is it really a good school and is it accredited if I want to apply to PhD later?

I have been taking courses from Ashford University online program for ten months. I think the courses are challenging but the lack of interaction from a online course is limited. Meaning I would think the instructor should be more proactive with the subject instead of reactive. The instructor don't give any guidance; They just grade what you have posted.  I am not sure if I made  the right choice just yet. I had two interviews so far and both had a way of saying"You taking online courses" as if it was a waste or second rate. I'll see after I graduate in August how the job hunt goes....

I am currently attending Ashford University and have very little negative to say about them. I listen to people complain that they didn't receive phone calls back for weeks and I will say to that, go to a Campus, stand on line and see how fast you get things done. The University try's to say it is inexpensive but it's not!! I guess that would be my only gripe with them but I look at it this way, If I buy something cheep that is normally what I get, CHEEP. I won't settle for a cheep education. If you are looking to attend Ashford University, be ready to EARN your degree, it's no B/S it's hard and they expect a lot out of you. This is no on line degree, it is a fully accredited Private University that's been around since 1918....GREAT SCHOOL !

The person who stated the MBA program is unaccredited is completely, totally incorrect. In fact Ashford is both accredited by the HLC and has also been nominated to the President's Higher Education Council for the last three years. Ashford is also a sponsor of Quality Matters, a program specifically designed by accredited schools for developing quality educational standards. I am looking forward to a prestigious MBA from a great school.

I graduated with my MBA from Ashford, June 2009.  I am hearing a lot of negative feedback about this school. However, I can not say I had the same bad experience. I have learned a lot, and the course work schedule worked around my work schedule. Before deciding to attend Ashford, I looked at many other schools like University of Phoenix, AIU, etc and they all had aggressive counselors who worked for them, not just Ashford. I think if you do the coursework, read the materials, you will get a good education. It doesn't matter where you go, its what you make of it, and knowing how to sell yourself when that great job opportunity comes knocking. 

God Bless...

Ashford University's MBA program has provided me with an excellent educational experience. I would highly recommend it to any professional who is looking to pursue an MBA or any advance degree that they offer. All of my professors are PhD’s who have excellent educational backgrounds and challenge their students. I am a much better business leader today, because of Ashford University.

The school is what you make it.  I earned my undergrad through Ashford and I have finished half of my MBA studies with them.  Every class I've ever taken through Ashford uses a full-length college text (500-700 pages) and you are assigned to cover the materials on every page of that text book.  So anyone who says the curriculum is a joke has to be cutting corners.  They cut corners by skimming the extensive readings and getting to the meat of the topic, but they're only selling themselves short.  If you do the program the way it's set up, you should expect to spend 4-6 hours a week covering the readings and completing your research.  From there, you will spend about 2 hours putting together your well-thought-out threads (online postings) and answering feedback from others.  If you're an undergrad student, you will have a weekly objective exam and if you're a graduate student you will have a weekly written assignment that demonstrates your understanding of the topic.  Don't be mislead, Ashford University is a great school.  All of my professors have earned terminal degrees (Ph.D., D.B.A, ect.) and expect quality in your work.  Those individuals who cut corners or present poor postings with serious grammatical errors pay in the end with their GPA.  I attended two years of public college here in Florida before I transfered to Ashford.  I transferred with a 4.00 and graduated with a 3.71 (If that says anything).  Ashford's program is much more difficult and required twice the amount of my personal time to keep up (Sorry UF..Go Gators!).

I am currently attending Ashford University and i have nothing but positive things to say and can't say other wise. My Enrollment Advisor was Jose Beltran and I love the amount of help he has given me and nothing was excluded I knew fully what I was getting into and my advisor still calls from time to time to check on me better than most school.
