			Per the Ashford web site:

	The University's main office is in Clinton, Iowa, [[US]].		:The mission of Ashford University is to provide accessible, affordable, innovative, high-quality learning opportunities and degree programs that meet the diverse needs of individuals pursuing integrity in their lives, professions, and communities.

			Ashford permits and encourages extensive use of transfer credits from other schools, as well as work experience (see http://www.ashford.edu/online/facts.php), thus "accelerating" a degree program without requiring new courses to be completed. This is a controversial practice among US institutions.

			Targeted students are those with full-time jobs, or those seeking to complete a degree already begun.

			Courses are delivered via the Blackboard system.

			Formerly known as The Franciscan University, and then The Franciscan University of the Prairies, it was purchased in March 2005 by Bridgepoint Education, Inc. At that time its name was changed to Ashford University, and it became a for-profit institution.
