    Ashworth is at least DETC accredited.

    Hey Shirley Ngan.

    As I was saying, Ashworth is DETC accredited.
    The cost of the program is relatively inexpensive also.
    Another option you might want to look into is UNISA (South Africa).

    Ashworth is one of the four DETC schools I really liked when viewing their webpage on their program offerings/tuition and such. The other three, all starting with an A apparently are....Andrew Jackson, Aspen U, and ACCIS.
    Aspen U is for great for individuals who want to specialise in Business/IT. ACCIS is good for Business/CS/IT.


    Here's a snippet of the DETC website for Andrew Jackson and Ashworth, both offer the MS Crim Justice...at a good price.
    You might want to check their website for more details.

    Re: Ashworth is at least DETC accredited.

    Thanks for your info.

    I am not working in the field of Criminal Justice, what do you think if I study Master of Criminal Justice? Indeed, there are very few career opportunities in this field. Yet, my Bachelor in Hong Kong is Criminal Justice and am quite interested in it. My greatest interest is in Psychology, however, no inexpensive Psychology program available (I mean Master).

    I hold a bachelor degree, if there is a Bachelor degree in Psychology can transfer many courses, please advise.

    Thanks!

    Ashworth does offer an associate's in psychology. Apparently, there are going to add more master's programs in the near future. I wouldn't be surprised if a psychology master's was added.
