University of Phoenix Reviews

I currently am attending the U of P for my Bachelors of Science in Information Technology. I have found the online format to be a bit more challenging than actually being in class. I think for you to succeed online it takes a special motivation to want to learn and whatever you put into it you get out of it, That goes for anywhere you go to school at. I love U of P and cannot wait to graduate.

First let me just state this; every higher education institution has advantages and disadvantages(Yes, even Harvard) An education is what you make it; UOP serves it's intended purposes for the full time working adult. Is UOP for everybody? Certainly not. I'm a full time student at UOP in their undergrad business management program and I definitely like the flexibility of the class structures. UOP is not for the average 18 year fresh out of high school with no direction or maturity for that matter; UOP does not have babysitters. The professors are working professionals with expertise in their particular field and it takes a person with extreme focus and dedication to really benefit from the programs UOP has to offer.

Im about to complete an MBA program at UoP and I must say, the challenge does exist. I went to a "normal" four year college for my undergrad and it does not compare. My undergrad was based on getting the best grades by making friends with the prof. In my course work at UoP, I have been challenged many times related to my quality of work. For everyone who gives bad remarks to the university I just have one thing to say... Next time you try something in life, don't give up becuase you don't have it your way. UoP is a for organized people who do not need someone to hold their hand till they graduate. Remember, you graduate ALONE...

I am a UOP graduate and feel that my experience with the school was fantastic. The schedule fits into my life and the courses are not easy but fair. They are challenging and you get what you put into it. I feel that I absolutely earned my degree and feel confident that my degree will get me further in life. I am currently enrolled in the UOP Masters program and feel that this program has been a further great experience. I appreciate the school and would not change a thing.

I am currently a UoP stundent and find the course work fairly easy. The fact that exams are not given as part of the curriculum has me thinking that UoP may not be a very high level institution. Though the discipline required to complete the course work on my own make the classes difficult, I still find myself asking whether it is worth getting a degree from a university that may not be held in high regard by the business community. I think I will stick it out because it is very convenient to be able to get online when I have the time.

Besides challenging classes and helpful professors, University of Phoenix has given me the confidence and the tools I need to succeed in my field. This place truly goes above and beyond, and the result is a diploma with a lot of value.

University of Phoenix is not your parents' correspondence college. Well, it was, when it was founded in 1976 on the idea that quality higher education should be affordable and accessible to everyone, even working students. Three decades later that foundation hasn't changed: between flexible scheduling and its highly-qualified professors, the university still dedicates itself to providing opportunities to students with full plates. That said, University of Phoenix has since blossomed into a thoroughly modern institution. With an eBook library, a commitment to environmental sustainability practices, and a presence on every social network imaginable (check out the talented Kate Voegele's online college experience on MySpace!), University of Phoenix knows what its 21st-century students demand, and what's more, it delivers in full.

I am tired of hearing people give UoP a bad rep!!
The school was a challenge and my teachers were awsome. You get what you put into it.
