What's Happening at Ashland University

Starting this fall, Ashland University will begin offering a number of three-year degree programs, enabling some students to enter the workforce or pursue a graduate degree more quickly than they would with the traditional four-year degree.

Ashland University President Dr. Fred Finks said Ashland’s faculty and staff have spent the past year developing this program in response to student and family financial concerns.

Martina Selker, senior business management major at Ashland University, was recently awarded third prize in the National Association of College Auxiliary Services (NACAS) student author contest.

NACAS is the largest auxiliary services support organization serving higher education. Its members include colleges and universities across the United States, as well as in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia.

Dr. Crystal Kaiser, associate professor and intervention specialist in Ashland University’s Department of Early Childhood Education, is part of a new state writing team that is revising and expanding the Ohio Birth to K Standards Framework.
