The Ashworth College online Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education is designed for aspiring educators who want to develop a career focused on teaching children aged 4 and younger. Though you may have stayed at home with a sitter or guardian, or attended a loosely-programmed preschool or play group at that age, expectations for life pre-K now include structured education by teachers who have earned degrees specifically for this field.

If your job no longer excites you as much as it once did, you may need to consider changing careers. It seems like an intimidating idea at first, but no matter where you are in your work life, making a career change could be the solution that leads to a happier, more successful you.

Our alumni inspire us daily—especially when we stumble across career success! We are thrilled to share that Ashworth College graduate Cindy Gardepe, from our Human Resource Administration program, received the prestigious Sally Dean award as the Director of Human Resources at UHS Delaware Valley Hospital.

When it comes to managing stress in college, online students—and definitely Ashworth College students—hold the advantage.

Ashworth College students work at their own pace without the stressors of due dates, class times, driving to and from school, finding parking, etc.

Even so, we can’t get rid of all life’s stressors. So we’ve complied this list of tips for managing stress for our students, to remind you to take a deep breath (#2 on the list!) and indulge in some much-deserved self-care when necessary!

We recently had the pleasure of catching up with Diana Pham, a student in the Associate Degree of Marketing program at Ashworth College and recipient of the prestigious Gary Keisling ACCESS Scholarship. The Gary Keisling Ashworth College Continuing Education for Student Success (ACCESS) Scholarship program awards up to $25,000 annually to new and prospective diploma and degree students. Winners are selected based on essay submissions, work/volunteer experience, and grade point average.
