Ashworth Closure

Don't quit! WGU can help Ashworth College students earn their BSN.

The decision to go back to school is never an easy one. You already made the decision once when you enrolled at Ashworth College and took the necessary steps to embark on your BSN program.

We are deeply sorry for the predicament you now find yourself in, through no fault of your own. So, what do you do now? Keep going!

Explore how you can continue on your path to complete your RN to BSN degree at WGU. We offer special assistance to Ashworth students so you can earn your diploma.

WGU offers a respected, accredited RN to BSN degree program. WGU could be a great fit for Ashworth students who are hoping to finish what they started.

Courses that matter. Enhance your résumé and increase your job security while helping your hospital achieve magnet status. Our program helps you expand your skills beyond the clinical aspects of nursing. You'll master evidence-based practice, patient safety, technology integration, and healthcare systems and policies.
Credit transfer. WGU has a generous transfer policy for credits earned at Ashworth College or other accredited colleges or universities. We also have the option to accelerate through all classes in the program, so you can graduate even faster.
Respect and trust. WGU's online, CCNE-accredited RN-BSN program builds on your previous nursing education and experience with a focus on the areas of research, theory, leadership, community concepts, healthcare policy, therapeutic interventions, and current trends in healthcare.
Affordability. Our affordable tuition is about half as much as you'd pay at other online universities. And because you pay per term rather than per course or credit, when you graduate faster, you save money.
Flexibility and acceleration. With WGU's competency-based model, you complete courses by learning, not by attending class. If you learn fast, study hard, or have previous work and college experience, you can move quickly through some material and spend more time studying what you still have to learn.
Personalized support. Our faculty members have only one job: to help you graduate. It’s why WGU is regularly recognized as one of the most student-obsessed institutions in higher education—and why 65% of WGU students rate the quality of their faculty interactions as a 7 on a 7-point scale, compared with only 24% nationally¹.

WGU grads tell their story.

“I hadn’t been in school for so long, but having the work experience from being a nurse, I not only did well, I actually loved it. The courses were practical, and everything made sense.” Keith Plant

FASTER

Learn, prove it, move on.

Competency-based education focuses on learning rather than seat time. You’re in the driver’s seat. Each course is a collection of defined competencies—knowledge and skills that employers are looking for from successful graduates. You study on your schedule. As soon as you can prove you’ve mastered the competencies, you take an assessment, pass it, and move on. You spend your time learning new concepts, not rehashing subjects you already know. You can set the pace to graduate early. And in the end, your degree is proof you’ve shown that you’re what employers are looking for!

MORE SUPPORT

Your success is our job.

From before you enroll to after you graduate, our #1 job is a better life for you and your family. Think of it as the best of both worlds: a program that offers complete independence and more support than you ever knew you needed—at exactly the moment you need it! From the enrollment counselor who helps you decide if WGU is the right fit for you, to the faculty mentors who are obsessed with your academic progress, to the student and tech support teams who are eager to help you solve any issues you might encounter as a student, you’re never alone—even though you’re online. And even after you’ve graduated, career and alumni support is just a call away.

GREATER VALUE

Smaller investment, bigger returns.

At WGU, affordability means cutting-edge programs at tuition rates that are half what you’d pay at other online universities. It means graduating with little to no student debt. It means scholarship and financial aid opportunities and minimal, transparent fees. It means a flat-rate per-term tuition so that when you save time you also save money. And it means understanding that value includes quality, flexibility, relevance, and results, not just cost.

Our faculty members have one job: helping you succeed.

Program Mentors.

Personally assigned to you from the day you enroll to the day you graduate, your Program Mentor is your faculty member. They will meet with you on a regular basis to provide program instruction, advice, coaching, support, goal-setting—and a healthy dose of cheerleading to make sure you’re celebrating the little and big wins along the way!

Course Instructors.

Learning independently doesn’t mean learning on your own. Course Instructors are subject-matter experts who work with you regularly to ensure you’re mastering course material. They tailor learning to your needs, and the type and intensity of instructional support you receive varies based on your performance in any particular course.
