Is Ashworth University fully accredited with the US Department of Education?

Ashworth College holds a national accreditation which is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) which can be verified at their website chea.org. The same standards that regional accredited institutes are subject to, also applies to the national accredited institutes. These standards are set in place by the CHEA and the US Dept. of Education and are both seen as valid forms of accreditation. The decision to accept transfer credits is up to the college or university you are applying to. With that said, that institute can decline any transfer credits including those from other regional accredited institutes or national accredited institutes too. The only way to be certain that a college or university will accept any credits is by contacting that college or university. You should contact the institute that you ultimately want to attend before enrolling at Ashworth or any other college. So to answer your question, No, Ashworth is not a fake university but it is true that you may have a more difficult time transferring their credits since they are nationally accredited. The only downfall to national accreditation is regional schools don't like to accept them but to flat out not accept them based on them coming from a national accredited source is unacceptable since that accreditation is recognized by CHEA for which they both belong. They must look at your transcripts and make the decision based on your academic performance. If you finish your studies from a national accredited institute you won't have issues finding a job that will accept them. Misconception is the only issue with national accredited institutes, factor that out and you don't have an issue. Also, the people who say only go for regional accreditation, haven't done their research and are the reason for so much confusion on this subject. The important thing to remember is your bettering yourself by gaining an education. I wish you much success in your future and hope I've added some insight on this matter!

Is Ashworth University a scam?
There appears to be too much inconsistency in what different organizations are saying about the institution. The College Board makes no reference as to the accreditation of the institution, while answers.com indicates it has a regional accreditation. The College Board site also states the school is a two year institution, but yet also states the school offers an associates, bachelors, and masters degree. I would recommend you search for a college or university with more of a stable history, rather than have the possibility of future problems. Make sure whichever institution you choose, that the school has a regional accreditation.Ashworth College:I did intense research on the Ashworth University (now Ashworth College) in 2006 to 2007. The College is located in Norcross, Ga., USA. It is accredited by the DETC (Distance Education and Training Council, which is an accrediting commission recognised by the US Dept. of Education).The Ashworth College also appears in the US Dept of Education's list of accredited institutes and universities.

(http:/wwwzperiodzashworthcollegezperiodzedu). Even though I have not been able to continue with the degree I am enrolled in for personal reasons, I know the College is genuine. The US Dept. of Education cannot lie.Please do not confuse Ashworth College with an unaccredited diploma mill functioning elsewhere and which is using the name "Ashworth" in its online advertising. That diploma mill's name is "Ashwood University" (http:/wwwzperiodzashwooduniversityzperiodznet). There maybe others trying to copy the Ashworth name.
