Thread: Looking for info: Ashford University

Hello. I have been reading the forums for a couple of days and after doing a search for info on Ashford I wasn't able to find much here. I want a Bachelor's in Sociology and I have narrowed down my selections to Ashford , Ellis, TESC, Excelsior, and Charter Oak (the last two offer concentrations in Sociology ).

I am leaning toward Ashford because the program fits my needs and on a personal note, I really liked the enrollment and financial aid counselors I have encountered so far. They seem to know exactly how to manage my transition from UofP (by the way, I am one who has enjoyed my UofP experience and would stick with them if they offered Sociology ). Ellis would be great and first choice except they don't have financial aid and I could never afford school without it. TESC has never gotten back to me, and according to what I have read here they have a bad reputation as far as customer service, which is pretty much a dealbreaker for me.

That brings me back to Ashford . I am just about ready to take the plunge and begin the application process. Reputation does matter to me (although I did go with UofP knowing their reputation once again because of great customer service and how easy they made the process), and I'd like to know if anyone has detailed experience they'd like to share. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I had a great experience with them, certainly they have the most transparent enrollment process I've ever seen and their customer service throughout the program is excellent. That being said they are not the least expensive option around but if money is not the biggest factor they are certainly a good school from my experience.

Thank you for your reply. I see you went through the MBA program with them, congratulations. Would you mind telling me what was the worst thing you could say about your Ashford experience?
