Supporting Individual Growth

Ashland University supports equal opportunity and access to higher education. We strive to offer an educational experience that is inclusive of people of all religions, 比赛, 种族, 性别, ages and sexual orientations, as well as people with disabilities. We work to provide not only a quality education, but also a diverse and multicultural one.
