Ashford is an Excellent Online Option

My experience with Ashford has been excellent. Coming from a traditional in-seat experience at Broward College in Broward County, Florida, I feel that my knowledge from the curriculum at Ashford has definitely widened my scope. The professor's posed challenging questions and excellent feedback within the Blackboard forums. Get ready to ...
An Excellent Learning Institution

I am beginning my second major at Ashford University, just ending Organizational Business Management and have found the experience over the past three years to be above average. Most of the Professors are seasoned and well versed, eager to both teach and learn. I am very pleased that I chose ...
Take these reviews with a grain of salt
July 12, 2009
A lot of these reviewers are either tainted by bad experiences and offer plain untruths. For instances, many (not all) Ashford University textbooks if purchased from THEIR bookstore are packaged with their name on it. However, the course information provides the full ISBN and you can buy the textbook anywhere ...

If you are planning to take courses you get it through work, make sure Ashford does not screw you over. I was told what do do as financial aid, and they told me they knew how the employer does it as far as tuition reimbursement or direct bill. They told ...

My wife is 2 courses from her Org Mgmnt degree (4.0 GPA) in June. Today she was told that the records dept performed an audit of her courses and 'OOPS', noticed that she needed yet another course to graduate (funny, they did an audit last July and she had only 7 courses left.. and, btw, that'll be another $1000 + books). Worse, 'he' was happy they caught it - talk about your positive spin... This is the 4th major administrative 'whoops' and all at my wife's expense. Professors were excellent, for the exception of one, but the administration (to the top) are money mongers that exploit their dictatorial leverage - no student recourse for their incompetence - they are judge and jury. Students beware. Professors 4.5 Stars / Administration 0.5 [They hired some great professors, but keep plenty of aspirin on-hand as this administrative will keep the headaches coming.]

Got my MA! This is a great university. Challenging course work, but a great school.

Well, my wife and I have just enrolled with Ashford. We are both in the Air Force, and they seem to cater to us a bit more than most other schools. We both left Wayland Babptist University for different reasons, and I look forward to the challenge that Ashford seems known to deliver...more to come as we continue on our journey to complete our degrees.

Tomorrow my wife and I are start our 5th class with Ashford. It's been a lot of work--5 week courses are intense, but very much worth it. We've enjoy everything that Ashford has to offer EXCEPT we've had a hard time getting scheduled with same professor. That is the only negative thing that I can say about Ashford.

I am finishing my degree this weekend and came across this page while doing research for my final paper. The courses have been soild and provided, current and relevant information that I can transfer into my real world work. I have been very pleased over all with my experience. The school is regionally accredited, unlike some other online schools, happens to be a real brick and mortar school with a history and is not a degree mill. While some may be unhappy with the cost, I can say they are far less than other online programs.

I am finishing my degree this month. I have loved Ashford. It is consistent. I had no problem with financial aid. I only had one teacher that I did not like but they took care of it and got a new teacher half way thru the class.
I would recommend the school to anyone who wants to work at getting their degree without leaving the comforts of their home.

I am contemplating going to Ashford and doing Organizational Managrment with a emphasis in psychology. I am just woried about job oppurtunities if I do obtain a degree.

I just stumbled on this forum. I have been going to Ashford for a while now and have finished 18 hours. This school is very convenient, especially for military! I don't know how other colleges are, but it seems that Ashford is almost too easy. Everything is open book, and grading is very lenient. It is not very hard to get an A, which is nice, and you get out of the classes what you are willing to put in. Like others have said, teachers vary. I have had great ones, and at times feel I am being tought by "blackboard" alone. I have had nothing but great experiences with administration folks also, by the way. All said, I would give Ashford 4 our of 5 stars.

I stumbled on this site looking for a trade school for my son. I am in my last week of course work for my degree and this has been a great experience. I wish I had started many years ago. Contrary to what was written before, you can transfer up to 99 credit hours - I did. I had to complete 13 classes for my degree because this was a change from my prior experience in college. I thought the price was very reasonable. Teachers were great. I had very helpful admissions, financial, and academic advisors. There is a lot of writing for these classes, so if you don't like to write papers, this may not be the appropriate school for you. I have enjoyed the interaction I have had with students from all over the world, especially those in the military.

I am about to graduate Ashford University, and while it is truly a legitimate brick and mortar school with a long history of academics, the online courses just do not provide the width and breadth of a great education. So, while I'll proudly display my "goatskin" on my wall, I'll know there is still much to learn. I chock this up as a by-product of Ashford' accelerated five week online program. Realistically, there are only so many hours in a day, and its frankly impossible to thoroughly cover all the material in a mere five weeks.
Nonetheless, if you are a mid-career professional, fully entrenched in a profession, and need the degree to complete the resume, the five-week semesters make for a fast-paced program. While it is a weakness from an academic standpoint, for those of you like me who simply needed to "git r done" Ashford is a good choice, and probably much better than most online programs. Being selected as both the US Army and Air Force Letter of Instruction school is a feather in their cap as well.

My experience with Ashford has been excellent. Coming from a traditional in-seat experience at Broward College in Broward County, Florida, I feel that my knowledge from the curriculum at Ashford has definitely widened my scope. The professor's posed challenging questions and excellent feedback within the Blackboard forums. Get ready to do a lot of writing in pure APA format! Yes, you will have to be responsible for making contact with both your academic advisor and your financial aid advisor on a regular basis in order to fulfill the tasks you hope to achieve at Ashford, but that would be at any college in which you take initiative. I am currently in the final two courses (yes you can take two courses concurrently) of my Bachelor's of Organizational Mangagement and find that any college I am hoping to attend for my Master's in Public Administration have stated they will transfer the entire degree towards their MPA. That is of course, if I choose not to continue on with Ashford's MPA in October. Ultimately I only required eleven courses with Ashford in order to obtain my BAOM, so I was able to complete that task starting in January of 2009 and ending in September, 2009. Be sure to as about the PLA program (Prior Learning Assessment) as I was able to eliminate 23 elective credits by submitting a one page Credit Rational paper and $30 per credit. I don't think you can complete your BA at ANY other college in eight to nine months! As a Deputy Sheriff it will provide me an opportunity to advance within my career and my employer is not concerned with Ashford's 'credibility' because they have heard from many different agencies that they are excellent! As far as the cost, it is more reasonable than other 'main brand' online colleges and their books are easily found used (a lower cost) through an online book forum. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ashford, its professors and its administrative staff a ten! Good luck in your endeavors.

I am two weeks away from finishing my degree. I thought Ashford was a great school. I am completing a BS in Org Management with a concentration in Education. It was challenging but books and starting was easy. If you want to get your degree, and are organized enough to work from home you can get you degree. I also noticed that Ashford was ranked in the fourth tier. I don't think I saw any other online schools on the list. I have noticed people fall from classes. Many want a walk in the park and a degree certificate. If you want it get. I did. 5 stars to Ashford.
