PEACHTREE CORNERS, Georgia (PRWEB) September 19, 2012
Ashworth College (http://www.ashworthcollege.edu/), a leading online school and provider of military education options for servicemembers, veterans, and military spouses, announced that it is a sponsor of Army Wife Networks Field Exercise seminar at Ft. Riley, September 20-21, 2012. Fort Riley is a United States Army installation located in North Central Kansas.
Field Exercise is a grassroots seminar series created by Army Wife Network (AWN) as a way to empower and rejuvenate military families. Attendees are able to network with other families and to receive information for becoming successful both in the military and in life. AWN hosts these events throughout the year, rotating among posts.
Education plays a major role in the lives of military spouses and they are aware of how it can make a significant difference in their careers and the familys well-being, said Rodney Butler, U.S. Army First Sergeant, Retired and Ashworth College Military Education Coordinator. As a sponsor of the AWN Field Exercise series we are able to show military spouses how attainable an online education can be all on their terms.
Many of Ashworths programs have particular appeal to military spouses including career diploma and certificate programs as well as associate and bachelors degree programs in business, early childhood education and health care. With more than accredited 115 online programs, the online school is approved for a number of military benefit programs including Post 9/11 GI Bill, Montgomery GI Bill, GoArmyEd, and MyCAA.
“Its Ashworths mission to ensure that our programs are affordable, flexible and meet the needs of the military spouse, Butler added. Our accredited degree programs are as low as $ 64 dollars per credit hour, compared to similar schools that push theirs as high as $ 250 per credit hour. And with zero out of pocket costs, its common for a military spouse to earn an Ashworth career diploma, certificate or degree using only MyCAA benefits.
In addition to sponsoring the Army Wife Network Field Exercise series, Ashworth has been further recognized as a Yellow Ribbon School and as a military friendly school by both G.I. Jobs and Military Advanced Education magazines. The online school also supports the The Fort Benning Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation and has sponsored Military Spouse magazines Military Spouse of the Year Award programs.
