Uop is a good school. The Business management curriculum is well organized and the work load is challenging. Most complaints I hear are aboutthis school relates to expense and not quality of the education. Nevertheless, I must admit, the school is expensive, but the knowledge you will acquire will certainly prepare you for a global environment.

I have been with the University of Phoenix for 2 years and I love it!!! My wife is in the military and we are located at a European base where I can not work. So my choices are very limited as to what I can do. All of my counselors have been helpful, I have maintained a 3.75 average and have enjoyed the experience; as a matter of fact so much so that I am going to finish my Masters with UOP.
I was even offered an opportunity to come to Phoenix to work for the UOP.
Just remember this type of learning environment is not for everyone, and it is not the most prestigious school in the world, but if you were able to attend Harvard you would be there instead of here complaining about UOP! The cost is a bit high but, you are paying for education, and convenience.

I have been a student at the University of Phoenix for three years now and before I wrote this review I used what I was taught to use in the first few months of classes when I first started at U of P. The lesson is from one of my writing classes and it is used as well in many other areas of study too, especially critical thinking and conflict resolution. I am referring to the classes that taught each and every student (those trying and participating) to do their research, avoid biased authors, publications, and individuals who only see one side of the issue, especially when they want you on their side without allowing you to get the facts and form your own opinion. They also taught way in the beginning (actually it was a questioned asked regarding the subject matter) what is the difference between persuasion and manipulation?
I read a lot of the negative comments as well as a lot of positive comments. After reading both types of comments I have notice a few things about the comments. Those leaving most of the negative comments only stuck it out for what seemed to be 2-9 classes before dropping out, getting kicked out, or were “forced to stay” rather than being labeled a drop out, or not being able to control their emotions when things got tough in school. Should many (not all) of those former/past student been able to stay in school academically they would have been able to start seeing the rewards as their credits added up, their grades got better, and they learned how and who to talk to over time to resolve many of those issues.
I say these things because I was in just about every situation people have complained about on these sites. In my very first college class which I started only two weeks after I talked to a counselor at UoP I received a B. Two weeks into my new course my first instructor explained she overlooked my assignment and changed my B to an A. All but three of my learning teams in over three years have been terrible for all the reasons mentioned but I learned to start doing the team assignment myself on the side just in case I had another class where the students got by from someone else doing all the work. If we worked with people like this we would call them slackers and try to avoid them but such is life we cannot avoid them and must either do what’s asked of us whether it is in school or work. Either way if we do not we fail or get fired. I have been in return to lender status, fought with my finance companies because they showed I was not enrolled.
The other thing I have learned while reading these web sites is that for every one I read that is a complaint there is another one about the people that kept trying, even those who did not enjoy the school that accomplished their goals of getting their degree. Those are the posts that keep me motivated and make me proud of them for sticking with their dream. Most of the negative posts are from the slackers in our learning teams who still need to blame someone.

I am 7 classes away from obtaining my Business Management degree and have to say I can't wait. I look forward to starting a new career with my new degree and start my Masters degree the first of the year. UOP is so convenient and compared to going to class at other universities nobody is going to remember eveything they read and learned. UOP is expensive but convenience is not cheap. I reccomend it to anybody who can't go to class but is willing to devote a lot of time and effort into an education.

University of Phoenix works for me. I will graduate May 24, 2009 with my Bachelor of Science in Management. Then I will take almost two months off and will begin my MBA program.

One thing I can say for sure is that I will competently know how to write my own book. I have found that people who do not like UoP are the ones who don't do well when it comes to overcoming adversity. UoP has helped me to research sources and ensure that they are reliable and valid for what is needed.

As a learning resource, UoP has taught me to use my own brain to work toward the goals I have set for myself. The team concept is very beneficial because for large in-depth projects/goals, I understand the theories, methodologies and tools that will prevent me from fumbling through or failing in the long-term. I can say that I have read all of my chapters all of the way through because I am interested in learning and not just the paper. You will get out of it exactly what you put into it; whether it is brick & mortar or online technology.

If other schools are innovative, they will learn that having programs online is becoming a necessity. Successful organizations will be conducting business this way at some point. UoP is just one of the best schools that continues to help others learn in the same what that we will work.

There are many schools that are for profit organizations. You should look them up, but you would only do this if you were comfortable with technology and didn't rely on a facilitator, teacher or professor to spoon-feed information.

UoP has taught and is teaching me to be more self-sufficient. I will use these skills for the rest of my life.
