I know they are NA and are Ashworth at that, but they allow 75% of credit from other schools. This could be great for someone who has jumped from MBA to MBA program....just saying. Masters Degree in Health Care Tuition - Ashworth College
Yes, if you've washed out of a number of MBA/Master's programs, that would be an option to pour the accumulated credits into. The previous coursework would have to line up with their program, and it would still cost about $2400 to finish assuming 9 credits left. Probably the single biggest advantage of Ashworth is that it's self-paced-- does not seem to rely on any calendars (assuming they get the course materials to you in a timely fashion, which used to be a huge problem).
Re: Ashworth I just completed a semester at Ashworth working towards my BS in Criminal Justice. I was able to transfer in almost 90 hours...so only have 11 classes to go. I will probably continue to the MBA with Ashworth as well. The school is relatively cheap in comparison to most others. The course work is typical to independent study; ie: online exams, 2 or 3 short essays per course, proctored semester exams. Getting customer service out of the school is almost impossible. Ashworth has a facebook page, and I have found that if you post issues or comments to that page, the will typically take care of your issues rapidly. So far, no complaints... I have completed courses with California Coast and AMU in the past, and like Ashworth the best so far. Brian
Ashworth College Transfer Policy The up to 75% transfer credit pertains ONLY toward Associate and Bachelor degrees; no more than a maximum of 9 graduate credit hours may be transferred into any of Ashworth’s Master degree programs. Moreover, any accepted transfer credit/s can’t be over 10-years old no matter the degree program.

Hmmm....under their masters programs they say 75% as well....Masters Degree in Health Care Tuition - Ashworth College Looks like they need to fix this, false advertising?
Agreed. Even if they state otherwise in fine print elsewhere, it could be asserted that they had intended to mislead potential applicants.
Most, if not all, post-secondary institutions will limit graduate (master level) hours accepted for transfer ranging from 6 to no more than 15-hours. I’m reasonably certain the college /university’s accrediting body, whether regional and /or national, contribute somewhat in determining credit transfer acceptance guidelines /policy.
