More About ASPIRE

When you enroll in an ASPIRE degree program, you can earn your accelerated Bachelor's or Master's degree and take advantage of these unique features available to you:

As an ASPIRE student, you spend significant time each week learning independently, outside of the classroom, by using textbooks and other resources provided before each class session. The instructor uses facilitative and interactive approaches (rather than lecture) to create a dynamic, active learning environment.

You also have exclusive access to the "Out of the way Cafe" - a place to gather and socialize or discuss assignments. The Cafe is located on the 3rd floor of St. Clare Hall. Academic and Financial Service Advisors are on campus during evening classes to answer any questions. You will also receive the weekly newsletter entitled "Table Talk."

Visit the Ashford bookstore which is open late on class nights for ASPIRE students to purchase books, pick up course guides, or purchase AU apparel. You can also check out the "buy/sell" board to exchange textbooks with your fellow ASPIRE students. Finally, the campus has full wi-fi capability so you are free to bring and use your personal laptop.
