Ashworth's Accredited Excellence

Will employers recognize the validity of your online degree?
Will you be able to transfer credits to other learning institutions?
Do your programs provide a high-standard of educational excellence?

At Ashworth College, the answer is yes, yes and yes.

Ashworth College is fully accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). Accreditation is awarded to schools that have met the standards of the DETC, certifying that the accredited online degrees and diploma programs offered are worthwhile and valuable. Our accreditation is your assurance that Ashworth’s faculty, course requirements and educational standards will provide you with a high quality, legitimate online education. Attending an accredited school also helps insure that your college credits will be transferable to another institution, as well as accepted by future employers. A 2010 research study indicates that nearly half of graduates with DETC accredited online degrees – 45 percent – received some sort of compensation increase and another 36 percent enjoyed either a job promotion or a career change that improved their lives.*
