I wouldn't recommend Ashford to a home-schooler. Ashford just recently tried to switch accreditation to WASC and got denied. They still have their previous accreditation for HLC, but have already been issued a show-cause by the HLC due to the fact the school is accredited in IOWA, but almost all their staff and servers are in california. It's a technicality, and you'll graduate with a RA degree, but if they don't get re-accredited by HLC anyone who started the program is in danger of not getting what they signed up for. Also, they don't have any national accreditation to fall back on if they lose accreditation. If I was a new student, I'd take a different route until Ashford hammers out their issues.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ashford here already! They have mid-level reviews on the web, but almost every review is a non-military civilian complaining about their financial department's (apparently ass-backwards) way of dealing with non-military FAFSA TA. If you're active duty military or working off of VA benefits, however, it's a streamlined process with extremely few hiccups; my wife is using some of my GI bill to finish her English BA and it's all totally automated; I'm active duty and I just send in a voucher about a week before each new class begins. Ashford is regionally accredited and accepts lots of CLEP/DANTES credits (Up to 99 transfer credits), as well as a lot of military experiential credits (up to 75 non-traditional credits). Two other guys here on Joint Base Pearl Harbor have recently received their BA's from Ashford, I'll be the third. They have a 30-credit residency rule, and I'm 15 credits into that.
