Degree completion with 77 credits earned
#21
FYI, I think Ashford is "just an OK school" as Ashford closed their only campus and became entirely online in 2016.
During that time, they also no longer offer financial aid and their tuition is expensive! Controversy arises at that school.
You can transfer 90 credits maximum at Ashford, I think, would that be enough of a discount for you?
Here's their wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashford_University

You may want to look into Excelsior College as they should be a better school and was also recommended.
They offer a BS Health & Wellness degree, they are partners with Straighterline/Study.com and allow up to 114 credit transfers.
You need to take at least 12 credits with them to have a tuition discount, that's 4 courses though.

The only thing I ever see about Ashford are sponsored Facebook posts about a class action lawsuit against them. That's enough to keep me from looking further into them.

I'm not sure what you mean about their not offering financial aid. They offer the same financial aid options as any other regionally-accredited school. I understand from these forums that there was some hubbub a few years back about their accreditation, etc., but that those have since been smoothed over and they're back on track. They are regionally-accredited. I don't have any vested interest in anyone going there Wink but I'd hate for someone to rule out a viable option due to misinformation.
