Aspen University offers education to students in all 50 states as well as around the globe. Aspen University may also accept credits from other accredited institutions and schools outside the USA, so students may be able to finish their degree faster than they'd thought possible.

Aspen University believes that an education should enhance participants life, and career - not interfere with it. Teachers and other pedagogical staff have designed the entire university to fit students' career advancement needs, their busy schedule, and all their day-to-day activities.

Aspen University was an early pioneer in online education. In fact Aspen was the first University to offer a 100% online MBA program - back in 1987. Since then Aspen University has taught over 4000 students, bringing classes to learners via the internet.

The University now offers programs in information and technology management, information systems, business, project management, criminal justice and nursing. Aspen University continues to make key strategic moves that allow it to refine its educational services and keep pace with industry changes.
