University of Phoenix Reviews

Everyone holds their own opinion, and I do appreciate when someone takes the time to write a review-good or bad. I wish I had seen this page before enrolling in their online program. This was my experience.

I obtained my AS online, so I knew the commitment and sacrifices that would need to be made in order to get my BS. I chose UOP because I was told all my prior credits would transfer and I could graduate in 2 years.

I am withdrawing after this first class is finished. I have been a student for 5 weeks and still I have no official count on my credits since someone ?overlooked? the mailing requesting these items. Financial aid is still not in place and due to this I am responsible for the $1700 for the entire class. Every class has a ?team project? that is due. There were 4 members in my team and it wasn?t until two days before the assignment was due that one of my team mates said she was ?too pregnant to help?..I?m not kidding! These projects are 20% of the final grade. Fortunately, the remaining members, and myself, were able to pull this together in time. However, her portion was not done well since we had to research and try to combine while we all lived in different time zones.
Do your research when looking at universities; it?s all about the numbers.

First of all, writing a complete sentence does not begin with the university of phoenix. What are you people smoking or drinking. Writing a complete sentence begins in childhood. Blame your parents first and then your primary, middle, and high school teachers for letting you get through. If you can't write go back to primary and get the foundation structure that is missing. Get real people. To me it seems like you all are making excuses. Excuses is lacking the ability to do something, like achieving.

UOPX is by far the best school, I have done extensive research over the past two years and UOPX offers accredited programs that other schools can not. I am going into my third year with UOPX and my overall experience with instructors, academic counselors, financial adviser have all been a positive... I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who wants to further their education, especially in the Health Care field. I have used my associates degree to land a great paying job in a long term care facility, with out it I would still be making minimum wage. Thank you UOPX!!!! I look forward to spending the next 2 years with you.....

UoP lacks or diverted away from student’s education, UoP is not about the students’ higher learning experience, but UoP is more on the quantity of students they can put out. The amount of money you spend by the time you graduate will be better spent on other schools. There are better schools out there for less amount and better education. However, if you are one of those uneducated person who does not want quality higher education and just want to have a BS degree to brag then maybe this is the school for you. After graduating at UoP I realized why Intel and other enterprise organization do not support UoP graduates. When I had gotten my BS degree with UoP; I felt validated, my pocket. It seems like I bought a Chrysler at a Mercedes price.
UoP will need to revise their teaching philosophy: for one, the group project structure. Your grade, in most case, depends on how other people work on their part of the project. So you can work really hard on your part and often times, someone will lack the motivation to do their part well. Thus, bringing everyone’s grade down because one or more person lacked to do their part right or turn it in at an acceptable time for group leader to correct. I had complained about this many times with my academic consular as the final project counts 30 to 40% of your grade. But it fell on deaf ears. And another thing, UoP has the highest turn around rate with their staff members. It seems that every time I go into a UoP office to talk to my finical advisor or academic consular. I had to talk to someone new. So, question or complain from my previous advisor or consular was null and void. I got better help from my pet dog.
To sum up what UoP is about, it is about quantity and not the quality of the students.

I am currently a student with the Associates degree program in Healthcare Administration. Besides the person who enrolled me, the rest are a joke. My financial aid counselor has changed at least 4 times, I have a new academic counselor who doesn't know what she is doing. I asked for a new academic counselor and the person in charge of them said unless I could come up with a good reason why I wanted a change, she wouldn't switch me. How about she doesn't know how to give a straight answer? Nor does the financial aid department, they come up with different answers everytime you ask. Now I know that your thinking I am complaining because I don't want to do the work, that is not true. I spend several hours a day on here trying to do the work and have a 3.84 gpa so that is not the case. I had one of the worst instructors ever for a critical thinking class. I honestly don't know where they got him from but I would never recommend this class to anyone with this instructor. I have taken some good classes and I love the work but they have an issue in the administration dept of this University! I am hoping to graduate and want U of P to change so that we can start ranking them higher than this!
