Merging the two universities into one brings together Ashford's associate and baccalaureate programs, both universities' master's programs, and University of the Rockies' doctoral programs under the Ashford University name.

"We are pleased to have received this final approval, and to proceed with the transition of combining our two institutions into a single, strengthened university," said Andrew Clark, president and CEO of Bridgepoint Education. "While each institution had quality programs and excellent faculty in common, students formerly at University of the Rockies will benefit from the expanded student services of Ashford University, while Ashford students stand to gain from the expanded degree pathways offered through Rockies. The resulting institution is stronger together for all our students."
