My cousin has three children and a G.I. Bill that runs out in like 6 months. She has applied to Ashford University. This is how she tells me that it works:
- You can take classes one at a time. Once you finish one class, you can go onto the next class.
- There are lots of military discounts.
- There is a Bachelor’s degree there that you can get that is the precursor to teaching grades K-3.
- Disbursements work on a monthly or yearly basis.
- The school is accredited!
- Her G.I. Bill pays for the first 2 classes.
This all sounds excellent, but I am always skeptical of online college and bachelor’s degrees. While this school is fully accredited, you should watch out and make sure that you are getting the best degree. For instance, the online Bachelor’s Degree for Early Childhood Education only allows you to teach in Arizona. Just make sure and read the fine print!
Ashford University does have some online Bachelor’s Degrees that I think would be very useful such as Accounting and Criminal Justice, which always seem to be hiring. Criminal Justice is especially great for people that have a background in the military.
You will probably hear more about Ashford University and my cousin’s experiences as time progresses… Stay tuned! I can’t wait to see how it works out for her!

Coincidentally, the WEBBSIT program that I attend online is also a favorite for the military.
