Review:
Wow, I cannot believe all of the great reviews that University of Phoenix has. It is WAY over priced for the level of education you are actually receiving. The instructors are awful but for those rare few. The learning teams are rediculous and one of the major reasons that I obtained my degree and then searched elsewhere for my Bachelors and masters program. The instructors did nothing to those who did not participate regardless of what our evaluations said. The projects large and meant for a team, more often than not, were done by meself or the rare chance that another person cared as much as I did about my grade. It says it is military friendly, however, it really only brings the prices down to where they can lure you in. Awful instruction, awful price, awful environment; I really have nothing good to say. Everything I did learn was a result of putting forth the effort as in anything you do. In one class I waiting 4 weeks, yes 4, before getting feedback from week 1 assignments. Absolutely take your business elsewhere if you can. There are many other schools to choose from.
Unbelievable

Review:
I have had experience enrolling in an online college only to barely get out with my finances still intact. I have a friend who lives in phoenix who decided her and her husband should do UOP classes online. They went 2/3 the way through and found out their grants were suddenly revoked. They are now thousands in debt and due to the grant being revoked their classes were locked. They were unable to come up with the $6k backpayment and were unable to finish. They went through so many classes they weren't eligible for tuition re-embursment or withdrawl so they must pay the complete tution. But they are also unable to make up the missed classes so, they have paid for their degrees but will never see them.

Review:
My experience has been outstanding. It is possible to start an AA program (pick one of 17) and finish in only a year and a half working full time! For working adults, to me, this is the best Associate degree program going - hands down!

Review:
At the end of the year 2005, I received by mail my Associates Degree from UoP. It was with a very heavy heart that I opened that very expensive degree. I entered the University with the goal of obtaining my Bachelors Degree in Marketing to then attend Certification Courses for Teaching. However, after two years I realized that I wanted my Bachelors degree to be IN Education. I decided to contact a Brick and Mortor (B&M) University to find out what I needed to do to "transfer" my credits. After speaking to the Dean of Students in Education I was told that the majority of classes from UoP were not transferable. Obviously "shocking" considering my ENROLLMENT advisor told me differently. Before considering UoP, I thought I researched substantially. Everything I read mentioned that it was an accredited school. However, it's very important to know through WHO it's accredited. When I contacted UoP after my conversation with the B&M school, they couldn't tell me much. It frustrated me. I counted my credits and told them... I want to change from a 4 year degree program to a 2 year degree. I want my AA and I want OUT. To which I receive varying responses. At one point I needed to take "other" courses. Which meant spend more money. Though, I was well over the necessary Credit hours for an AA. In the end, I paid my "graduation fee" and ran out with my AA. It was my hope to transfer into a B&M university holding a degree rather than just "credits". This year I will test that. It was not until a few weeks ago that my husband purchased a frame for it - in hopes that perhaps if I respected the degree enough something will come from it. My experience within the classroom was well enough. I stayed with the same "Team" for the two years I was there and am still friends with two of my teammates. Several good things that came from my experience: I can give an AMAZING PowerPoint presentation. I can confidently articulate my thoughts. I have two good friends.
