Review:

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!  On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ashford, its professors and its administrative staff a ten! Good luck in your endeavors.
