They are awfully cheap. Is this a bogus degree? - I know it would not be worth as much as some top schools but would it be worth anything?

Ashworth University is a nationally accredited (DETC) and not regionally accredited (SACS) - therefor, there will be problems transferring credit later if you want to.
They are not "bogus" since they are recognized as accredited by the US government. A regionally accredited degree is more marketable.

It is "nationally" accredited by DETC, but it is worthless nevertheless. This "university" started out in 1987 selling real estate courses. Now it has a wide variety of useless degrees. Here one testimonial:
"I learned so much in this course. It showed me how to implement gourmet techniques in the kitchen, not just pictures of recipes."
High praise, indeed !
ps: SACS accredits Ashworth's High School courses only.
