Ashworth College Named as Military Friendly School
Every year GI Jobs published a list of "military friendly" schools that are being acknowledged due to their special efforts on behalf of returning veterans. This year Ashworth College was added to the list, which was announced on October 23rd.
The list was compiled through research starting last May during which G.I. Jobs polled more than 7,000 schools nationwide. Criteria for making the Military Friendly Schools list included efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students and academic accreditations. There are also limits to tuition costs that are written into the new GI bill which schools must meet. When the new GI Bill became law in August of this year, many GIs enrolled in online degree programs while still on active duty - some as far away as Iraq.
"Ashworth is proud to offer a wide range of programs to those serving in the U.S. military and their spouses," said Gary Keisling, President of Ashworth College. "Our degree programs are offered at less than $100 dollars per credit hour, while most other schools push theirs to the maximum of $250. Military tuition benefits go further with Ashworth College, helping individuals achieve their education goals."
Part of being military friendly includes helping vets gain credit for military experience. In May of this year, Ashworth announced its partnership with GoArmyEd, a program run by the Army Continuing Education System (ACES). In that announcement Ashworth College said, "Ashworth College recognizes that military experience can often translate to college credits. Ashworth works closely with a number of organizations to review and apply credit for military training��"
Veterans coming out of the army today bring cutting edge experience and knowledge to new academic endeavors. Many veterans who worked with military communications and intelligence equipment could fit in easily to a computer science program.
The army also has medical training programs that provide much of the preliminary training for a medical technologist career or perhaps medical assisting. The Army today is a self contained unit capable of taking all of its support systems to any point on the globe, and they take their essential services with them. When there are 60,000 troops in a foreign land, there are also capable officers meeting medical needs who could transfer into a program for degree in healthcare administration.
