Discover the benefits of online education

You may already be aware of some of the benefits of online education. You can study at any time of the day that works for you. There may be travel required for programs that require externships.

You will benefit from that level of flexibility and more at Ashworth College. With no scheduled classes or exams, no due dates, and no group projects, we work with even the most complicated of schedules. So what else really sets us apart from other online schools? Explore our online learning experience to find out.

  1. Enroll any day of the year

    If you want to enroll today, you can. If you would prefer to wait until after you finish that project at work—or take that well-earned vacation with the kids—that's fine too. We accept new enrollments every day of the year.

  2. Send us your transcripts

    Do you have previous college credits to apply toward your Associate's or Bachelor’s Degree? Send us your transcripts within 90 days of enrollment. We'll evaluate them and grant eligible transfer credits.

  3. Start learning right away

    Start your first lesson the day you enroll. All you have to do is log in to your Student Portal from any computer. This is where you access lessons, upload assignments, take exams, check your grades and account status, and request support.

  4. Progress at your own pace

    Your custom study guides are designed to help you advance quickly through each course. You will explore key concepts in supplied textbooks, e-books, and other key learning materials, and then enhance your understanding through review exercises and practice questions. Master each lesson and move on to the next without delay.

  5. Take exams online

    Take the practice test first to check your knowledge, and then wrap up each lesson with an open-book, open-notes online exam. Grades are immediately posted in your Student Portal. Degree programs conclude with a final proctored exam.

  6. Get the support you need throughout

    Learning online doesn't mean learning alone. From the day you enroll, our Academic Advisors provide personal tutoring and our Student Services team handles administrative concerns for you. After that, personalized career guidance awaits to help you seize your new opportunities.

Our grads give their Ashworth College reviews

Whether by mail, email, blog posts, or comments on our Facebook Fan Page, we love to hear our graduates share their experiences, and we’re very proud of their achievements. Check out these recent Ashworth College reviews to learn more about our unique online learning experience.

"Earning an education with Ashworth has meant the world to me. This is my 4th program with Ashworth College because of the flexibility that they provide to work at a pace that’s best for me. Life will continue to send you challenges, but at least I know that my program is there to fit me and my schedule. There’s also the bonus of remaining debt free as well."

Ebony Y., 2024 HVAC Graduate.

"I am a proud graduate of Ashworth College. Earning an education with Ashworth College meant a lot to me and it filled me with immense joy as it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. Ashworth College self paced programs, affordable tuition, knowledgeable professors and excellent student support services paved the way for me to accomplish my dream of attaining a Bachelor’s degree. I now have a greater understanding of the multiple interrelated pillars of the criminal justice system. The knowledge I gained while studying can now be used throughout my policing career."

Romancia J., 2024 Criminal Justice Bachelor’s Graduate.

"It was affordable and easy to fit into my budget, the payment plan was very flexible and the classes were demanding but not overwhelming. I didn't feel the pressure of being rushed to get things like assignments done at a certain time. I worked at my own pace, which was important to me."

Hilda S., 2024 Healthcare Management Bachelor’s Graduate.

"Earning an education with you has meant a lot to me. It has enabled me to secure a better job and, more importantly, equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed to help people effectively. Through my education, I've been able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families, guiding them towards better outcomes and improved well-being."

Alicia S., 2024 Psychology Bachelor’s Graduate.

"I have earned credentials that will stay with me forever and that I was able to use immediately upon program completion. Being able to complete all of this via distance learning was a huge bonus, especially for someone in my age bracket!"

Laurie S., 2024 Pharmacy Technician Graduate.

"Attending Ashworth College has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, and most significantly, I was able to learn and progress at my own pace, which was a huge advantage for me since I was pregnant at the time. There were times when it was difficult to keep up with the course, but being able to manage my own time and schedule helped me to complete the certification successfully. Secondly, it was crucial for me to find a university in the United States that could provide me with the knowledge and skills I needed to thrive in the field of materials, construction systems, and management."

Monica V., 2024 Construction Management Graduate.

"Ashworth College has provided me with a positive learning experience. I was pleased to discover that they offered two programs of interest, eliminating the need to transfer between institutions. Ashworth College's flexibility, online tutoring, and extensive library resources have greatly enhanced my educational journey, making it both convenient and effective."

Andrea L., 2024 Forensic Science Graduate.

"It has meant everything. Coming into a role within an industry I had zero knowledge about, the program I enrolled in provided me with a stronger understanding of the world I work in and providing me with more confidence knowing I now have another diploma to proudly display on my wall."

Matt H., 2024 Residential Electrician Graduate.
