Has anyone heard of Ashworth College? - geissingert - 09-26-2014
Just curious, if this would be a benefit for my daughter for Graphic Design? Online College Degrees - Affordable & Accredited I know it's not a bachelors program, but would it count as credits towards personal learning for a Liberal Arts @TESC?

Ashworth College is DETC accredited (National), and will most likely not transfer.

Avoid. It won't count in transfer anywhere that requires regional accreditation (TESC, community college, etc.) The accreditation is national, not regional. All things being equal, your dollar spends just as easy in a program that will transfer as one that won't.

I don't know if this is the case at Ashworth, but the career diplomas at Penn Foster aren't worth college credit. So, even if you find a school willing to accept credits from nationally accredited schools, you won't get credits for their career diplomas. They are more like professional development credits.

Penn Foster was one we were looking at for the Graphic Design program. Then my daughter was thinking of getting bachelors at TESC.

The only courses that transfer from Penn Foster are those listed on the ACE website.

I have taken the graphics arts program from Ashworth College. I am still a student there working on a AAS in Marketing. It is a career diploma course and does not count for any college credit. The program was ok but I believe the program from Penn Foster would have been better. Some of the classes that make up the Penn Foster program would most likely transfer if they have been approved by ACE.

I found this thread looking for something else and have already done this research so it may help someone in the future.
All of the college degree programs at Ashworth will transfer in their partner program - the National Transfer Network, which includes 4 regionally accredited schools (ASU, Norwich, SouthWestern and WGU).

Or you could START at ASU, Norwich, SouthWestern and WGU. Those will transfer anywhere.

ASU is a typo. It's supposed to be APUS.

You don't want to start this argument. I've been down this road already on the other forum. Poptech's main argument is that Ashworth is cheaper. They currently have this deal where you get your fourth semester free. After that deal is over, they go back to being about as expensive as a community college.
