Would Recommend?yesThe school is not too expensive. Also, it is very flexible. Anyone could fit school into their busy lives.
Program Reputation5I'm not completely sure what Ashford's reputation is. I don't live in Iowa, so I never hear about the college.
Program Quality8Ashford had a very flexible Master's program. It allowed me to work full-time while going to school full-time.
Instruction8I learned a lot in a short amount of time. There was very little busy-work.
How Difficult5School has never been very hard for me. This was no exception. However, Master's level classes can be a little challenging.
Hands-On vs. BookishI took a lot of online courses. I never had any hands-on experiences.
Schedule Flexibility10Classes were very flexible. They also had an online program, so students could do their work in their free time.
Academic Facilities7Professors were very flexible. There were also advisors and tutors readily available.
Social Life7It was a good experience, but I've attended other colleges that were more fun. I would still recommend the school, though.
Placement Services1I've never had any assistance. In fact, I applied for a job at the college and never heard anything back.
Alumni Network2I rarely hear from them. I never get any mail or newsletters from alumni.
