Program Costs:
Program costs include the total amount of tuition and fees for completing the program within normal time, the typical costs for books and supplies, and the amount of room and board, if applicable. An explanation of normal time is provided in the on-time completion rate definition below. Program costs are based on current rates and are subject to change. A complete break-down of program cost information, including indirect costs which are not billed directly by the University, may be found at http://www.ashford.edu/admissions/online_tuition_fees.htm.

Tuition $27,671 Books $2,200 Fees $1,250 Total $31,121

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is 114 weeks.

44%

Median Loan Debt:
Median loan debt represents the median loan debt from Title IV, HEA program loans, and the median loan debt from private educational loans and institutional financing plans incurred by students completing the program. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear.

Tuition $49,560 Books $4,000 Fees $2,150 Total $55,710

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year.

The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

CIP: 13.0607

The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).*

*US Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences/National Center for Education Statistics website.

Program Costs:
Program costs include the total amount of tuition and fees for completing the program within normal time, the typical costs for books and supplies, and the amount of room and board, if applicable. An explanation of normal time is provided in the on-time completion rate definition below. Program costs are based on current rates and are subject to change. A complete break-down of program cost information, including indirect costs which are not billed directly by the University, may be found at http://www.ashford.edu/admissions/online_tuition_fees.htm.

Tuition $49,560 Books $4,000 Fees $2,150 Total $55,710

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

CIP: 13.0101

The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).*

*US Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences/National Center for Education Statistics website.

Program Costs:
Program costs include the total amount of tuition and fees for completing the program within normal time, the typical costs for books and supplies, and the amount of room and board, if applicable. An explanation of normal time is provided in the on-time completion rate definition below. Program costs are based on current rates and are subject to change. A complete break-down of program cost information, including indirect costs which are not billed directly by the University, may be found at http://www.ashford.edu/admissions/online_tuition_fees.htm.

Tuition $49,560 Books $4,000 Fees $2,150 Total $55,710

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

Median Loan Debt:
Median loan debt represents the median loan debt from Title IV, HEA program loans, and the median loan debt from private educational loans and institutional financing plans incurred by students completing the program. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear.

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

Tuition $49,560 Books $4,000 Fees $2,150 Total $55,710

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

CIP: 31.0504

The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).*

*US Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences/National Center for Education Statistics website.

Program Costs:
Program costs include the total amount of tuition and fees for completing the program within normal time, the typical costs for books and supplies, and the amount of room and board, if applicable. An explanation of normal time is provided in the on-time completion rate definition below. Program costs are based on current rates and are subject to change. A complete break-down of program cost information, including indirect costs which are not billed directly by the University, may be found at http://www.ashford.edu/admissions/online_tuition_fees.htm.

Tuition $49,560 Books $4,000 Fees $2,150 Total $55,710

On-Time Completion Rate:
The on-time program completion rate represents the percentage of students who completed their program in the most recently completed award year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012) within the normal timeframe for that program out of the total students who completed the program in that year. For example, if 100 students completed a program between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and 60 of those students finished the program within the normal time for completion, the on-time completion rate would be 60%. If there were no completers in the timeframe referenced, or if fewer than 10 students completed in the timeframe, then "N/A" will appear. The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

The academic calendar for programs offered in the online modality is continuous, rather than defined by semester dates. Normally, students take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break. All courses begin on a Tuesday and end on a Monday five weeks later (undergraduate) or six weeks later (graduate). Opportunities to enroll in programs are available up to 50 Tuesdays throughout the calendar year. There is generally one annual two-week Winter Break when courses are not scheduled.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time undergraduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by five (5) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is four (4) years or 208 weeks.

The on-time completion rate is not to be confused with a graduation rate; rather, it is the percentage of graduates who complete their program within the normal timeframe, per federal regulation.

Thus, the normal time for a full-time graduate student to complete a program may be calculated by multiplying the total number of courses in the program by six (6) weeks and adding two (2) weeks for each fifty (50) week period. The normal time for completion of this program is 82 weeks.
