Discover the benefits of online education

You may already be aware of some of the benefits of online education. You can study at any time of the day that works for you. There may be travel required for programs that require externships.

You will benefit from that level of flexibility and more at Ashworth College. With no scheduled classes or exams, no due dates, and no group projects, we work with even the most complicated of schedules. So what else really sets us apart from other online schools? Explore our online learning experience to find out.

  1. Enroll any day of the year

    If you want to enroll today, you can. If you would prefer to wait until after you finish that project at work—or take that well-earned vacation with the kids—that's fine too. We accept new enrollments every day of the year.

  2. Send us your transcripts

    Do you have previous college credits to apply toward your Associate's or Bachelor’s Degree? Send us your transcripts within 90 days of enrollment. We'll evaluate them and grant eligible transfer credits.

  3. Start learning right away

    Start your first lesson the day you enroll. All you have to do is log in to your Student Portal from any computer. This is where you access lessons, upload assignments, take exams, check your grades and account status, and request support.

  4. Progress at your own pace

    Your custom study guides are designed to help you advance quickly through each course. You will explore key concepts in supplied textbooks, e-books, and other key learning materials, and then enhance your understanding through review exercises and practice questions. Master each lesson and move on to the next without delay.

  5. Take exams online

    Take the practice test first to check your knowledge, and then wrap up each lesson with an open-book, open-notes online exam. Grades are immediately posted in your Student Portal. Degree programs conclude with a final proctored exam.

  6. Get the support you need throughout

    Learning online doesn't mean learning alone. From the day you enroll, our Academic Advisors provide personal tutoring and our Student Services team handles administrative concerns for you. After that, personalized career guidance awaits to help you seize your new opportunities.
