I wanted to know about Ashford University?
I live in California and was searching for a online school that was reasonble in price and of good quality. I came across Ashford was wondering of this was a good school to go to. Is this school accepted everywhere and is it as good as other schools. Some say the university is bad and others say it’s a good school. I’m currently in community college and will soon be looking into a bachelor’s degree program. I want to attend class online to maintain my independence. The two programs of interest to me are psychology and education. I’m going back and forth between the two. And i’m wondering if I should be a social worker or a teacher, which are two fields I know I would be good in but thats my problem. I just wanted to know if Ashford is a good school to go to or are there any others that I should look into. I hope this information helps! Any answers or suggestions would be great!

Ashford University http://www.ashford.edu is regionally accredited by the North Central Association. NOTE: California’s state licensure requirements for teachers require a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited school, but there is no requirement that the degree be done residentially.

One thing you’ll want to do is make sure with the appropriate licensing agencies in CA for teaching and social work that a degree from Ashford (or any online school) would be accepted towards their educational requirements.
Second, bear in mind that many employers have a real distain for online schools. If you can attend a traditional school instead I strongly suggest you do that.
However, employers might look more favorably upon Ashford’s online program if the traditional school is very well regarded.
You might want to check with the school to find out if you have to note how you completed the degree on resumes, etc., and whether the online program will be noted anywhere on your diploma.
