Ashwood "University" is one of the worst diploma mills I have ever encountered. It exists principally in cyberspace, though there is a connection to Pakistan, since one investigator bought a phony diploma from Ashwood and it was mailed from that country.
Ashwood claims to be "accredited" by not just one, but two accrediting associations (see my post for Sept. 25). This is further evidence that so-called accrediting associations are invented by the same people who invent the bogus colleges.
Ashwood selected its name because it is very similar to Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa. Ashford is an accredited liberal arts residential college. The Ashwood people are hoping that no one sees the difference.
Ashwood brags that with them "there is no need to take admissions exams, no need to study, receive a college degree for what you already know." (Note the faulty sentence construction.)
"Degrees" from Ashwood cost:
- BA/BS -- $479
- MA/MS -- $515
- PhD -- $599
Just send the money and you get your degree. No work. This is how diploma mills work. Avoid Ashwood and similar institutions.
