University of Arizona Global Campus Top Questions

I dont consider anything about this school to be bad. This is a great school and the faculty are very helpful in all matters possible. A GREAT school all around.

Not being able to meet new faces

I am an online student. I love my school. The only thing that I have found to be negative is when there are classes that I would love to be in person to have the advantage to have discussion in person as in Literature classes and in the class I am now taking "Cultural Anthroplogy". Other than this, Ashford University is an upstanding university with upstanding teachers, advisors, and financial aid counselors.

The worst thing about Ashford University is that when in class, you do not get to see the professor and other students. I am taking on-line classes, and interact via the computer with my classmates.

The worst thing about my school is that I cannot see people's expressions. Using written words to convey points or make arguments can be easier for some than it is for others. If we all learn to write in the same way that we speak, it will create an environment that is ripe with opportunity for expression, humor and learning.

The inability to meet with my classmates and instructors face to face on a daily basis.

The worst thing about Ashford University online, is that there are degrees available that your current state will not recognize. You have to be sure that the degree you are working to, will be accepted in your state. For example, a bachelor's Early Childhood Education with Ashford will not give you a teaching certification. The Utah State Office of Education will not accept specified course work from Ashford. I am currently transferring to Utah State University. Be sure that the classes you are enrolling in, will be transferable. You do not want any of your work go to waste.

The worst thing I consider about my school I attended was the lack of concentration on my education/career goals. I am employed as a Physical Therapist Assistant and attended Ashford University to get my Bachelor's Degree in Biology to be able to advance to a higher degree of a Physical Therapist which is a Master's Degree. Concentration of education/career goals that was looking to obtain were kinesiology and athletic training.

Each class goes by so fast that if you get behind it is very hard to catch up.

Current change of blackboard layout, hard to reach advisors, university does not seek scholarships or special grants or awards for students; student responsibility.
