Online Degree School

I have posted 2 weeks ago a question about ASHFORD UNIVERSITY online. Some of you have said that a degree with them is pretty much worthless. I have many hours from different colleges, and at Ashford I will need only 33 h. of upper division to finish my major. Somehow I feel like that college is a spam, money mone money….. I know it cost a lot, but I have only 11 classes left…. this is the easiest way to get a B.A as fast as I can. I am tired to go to school at night, becaus eI have to stay home with my kids during the day..
PLEASE give me more info about this college or anyother ONLINE COLLEGE

thanks

I did a little research on it.

It is a regionally accredited university with an actual campus, and that is good news. It has been around since 1918, so it is not a recent online only college startup.

It is owned by a for profit company. That is not so good. The general concern one has about for profit universities is that they may sacrifice educational quality for profits.

US News and World Report has a profile on them. It lists them as being less selective, and ranks them in the fourth tier among colleges in their category.

If you are getting your degree online, you are on the right track in going for colleges with a campus, and with regional accreditation. But if you can find one that is better recognized it may serve you well in the end, even it if takes a little longer to complete your degree.
