Welcome to ASHFORD UNIVERSITY
Ashford University’s articulation agreements offer transferring students the opportunity to carry with
them the credit they have already earned to pursue academic and professional goals through any one of
the Bachelor’s degrees offered at Ashford University. This Articulation Agreement, in the spirit of
cooperation, offers students a structure through which transfer articulation on all levels can be
supported and includes the following benefits for the transferring student:
•
UP TO 90 APPROVED CREDITS
Past efforts and life experiences are valuable; students may be able to transfer both traditional
and non-traditional credits into their chosen academic major. They can transfer up to 90
approved credits, including a maximum of 75 non-traditional credits (subject to state law),
toward a Bachelor’s degree.
•
ASSOCIATE’S DEGREES/General Education Block
Credits earned as part of an Associate degree where a student meets the general education
requirements for Bachelor of Arts degrees offered through state universities are accepted as
fulfilling all General Education and competency requirements of a Bachelor’s program, with the
exception of the General Education Capstone. If a student’s Associate degree does not meet the
above requirement, the Registrar’s Office will still evaluate the degree and deem it acceptable
to meet all General Education and competency requirements.
•
AWARD OF UPPER DIVISION CREDIT
If students transfer lower-division credits beyond what is required for an Associate’s degree, or
if the lower division credits are equivalent to designated upper division course content, these
courses may be evaluated by Ashford University and, where appropriate, they may be applied
toward major courses.
•
REVERSE TRANSFER
Ashford University will participate, when applicable, in the reverse transfer process for those
students who transferred prior to completing an associate degree. The student will be offered
the opportunity to earn said degree via the reverse transfer process.
•
DEGREE MAPS
In addition to the benefits outlined above, view the Degree Maps below for select programs
transferring into Ashford University. These degree maps will show potential Ashford students
how their completed general education and program coursework can transfer into Ashford
University’s four year programs. These programs are not the only options. See the entire list of
Ashford programs.
Experience a new way of learning through the innovative online experience at Ashford University and
earn the degree you’ve always wanted. The Ashford University experience provides:
•
ONLINE CLASSROOM
Students earn their degree online. With 24/7 access to the Student Portal, students can access
the online classroom, connect with instructors and other students in online discussions, and
check their degree progress.
