About the School

Ashford University Online is a part of Ashford University, a liberal arts school situated on a scenic bluff above the Mississippi River in Clinton, Iowa. Established in 1918 as Mount St. Clare College, the college was renamed Ashford University in 2005.

Ashford University Online offers Associate, Bachelor, and Master degrees programs in liberal arts, sciences, and business. These programs are aimed at working adults and those that have not yet finished their degree.

The university offers a wide range of educational programs across its online degree areas. Its liberal arts programs include accounting, business, education, communication, education, health care, psychology, marketing, social sciences, sports and recreation management, and more.

The Master of Business Administration program's goal is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to become upper-level managers in any type of business or organization. Business students delve into various aspects of a market-based economy including finance, human resources, marketing and information management.

Learning Options

The University runs its online courses asynchronously to maximize scheduling flexibility for students. This approach is like email in that students can login at any time of day to communicate with classmates and teachers and to post completed assignments. Students typically login at least two times per week per class.

Online students usually take one at a time and immediately begin the next course without a break. Students can often begin course sequences for a degree program every week. Students can transfer previously completed coursework and in some cases can graduate in less than two years for Bachelor's degrees.

Faculty

Ashford's online faculty typically have doctorate degrees and for business courses they have practical work experience.
