I graduated this month in Security Management degree program. All things considered, Ashworth College is worth it if : 1) You don't have time to attend classes due to family/work commitments; 2) You do have the discipline to work with limited direction; 3) You don't want to spend much money on your degree. For whatever it's worth, I had a good experience with Ashworth and would recommend it to anyone ONLY if I thought they had the drive and focus to stick with it till the end. As a working adult with a family who already has a great deal of experience in the degree field I studied, it was a great choice for me.

The best way to contact the school is either to use the Helpline on the Student Services website or to ask for help at the school's internet forum. Although there are occasional customer service issues, I was able to get all of them resolved quickly. Probably the most common problem I had was getting them to ship the next course materials(they are supposed to send them automatically when 80% of the previous course is finished). One email was always enough for prompt delivery. The course content was good, although some of the material was slightly outdated. Most of the outdated material was the result of new Supreme Court decisions or because of updates in Homeland Security. This is understandable, but I hope they update their material ASAP. One thing that surprised me was how challenging the material really was! I'll admit that when I started, I thought it was going to be a walk-over, especially because all of the exams are "open book". Not so. The writing assignments were tough, particularly in the Introduction to Terrorism and Criminal Behavior courses. It took me from April 2007 until December 2008 (20 months)to finish what is intended to be a two-year program. I thought that was reasonable. Recently, they started allowing students to submit assignments electronically and I was able to get my last two papers turned in and graded within three days. The cost is as low as you can get at $80/credit hour. The only concern you should have before you sign up is contacting any four-year colleges you may transfer to/potential employers and finding out if they will accept a degree from Ashworth. Many regionally-accredited online schools will, but you better shop around first! I've found one already and will be starting my bachelor's degree program in April 2009. To emphasize: do this BEFORE you enroll with Ashworth!
