Worth It

School recommended by Rachel McBride on January 15, 2012

Quality of Curriculum/Instructors

I am one class away from graduating with my BA in Organizational Management. I've also been a student for 20 years at San Jose State, Texas State, and UT of Austin. I am more than extremely pleased with my experience. Most seem to have trouble with finances. This should not affect one's view of the quality of education. It is a different topic.

Terrible Experience

School not recommended by Nicole on August 04, 2009

Review Rated Helpful

This college promised my husband a full scholarship as part of a program for older students to go back to earn their degrees. At the end of his first course, they sent a bill and said no scholarship had ever been offered. During the course, about half the class also had problems with their online coursework submissions disappearing from the forums, and the professor refused to consider this when grading and failed half the class. This school is just a money making scheme.

Academic Counselor is hard to contact

School not recommended by Krystal on August 04, 2009

Review Rated Helpful

I have been attending Ashford since March of 2007, and have had a very good experience until recently. My academic advisor, J. is very very hard to get a hold of, and never ever has any good information for me. Plus, I am trying to take a second course and now they are telling me that I will have to pay for that class aside from my financial aid, so basically with cash. So I am mad and frustrated. I think this school, like like University Of Phoenix, just wants to rip people off to get as much money as they can.

Bachelor Organizational Management

School recommended by Lisa on November 25, 2008

I will be graduating from Ashford next month. I have attended 4 different colleges/universities over the 20 year span to get to my degree (I got sidetracked along the way raising a family ect...). I have done a community college,private university and a very large well known online program. I can say that I have been very happy with my experience at Ashford. I have had very good support and have found the setting perfect for my busy lifestyle. edit

Not for me

School not recommended by Kathlene on November 25, 2008

Review Rated Helpful
I am a former vocational educator forced to stop teaching due to disability. I needed a reputable online program to re-train for other work. I enrolled at Ashford and was ready to begin classes. I got poor customer service and student support from my "Admission Counselor"and withdrew less than 1 month after I enrolled.
