Review:

I am so glad I am only going to University of Phoenix for a certificate program.  I am on my 3rd out of 6 classes.  I have spent way to much money to stop now so I am forced to finish or consider the money I spent as a donation to UoP.

My complaint is the caliber of students UoP admits to the class.  I resent my hard work benefiting team members that have absolutely no participation or contribution to a team paper, and yet get that A that I spent hours on the week before.  Why do I do it?  Because if I left it up to some of these team members they simply would not do the assignment or be fine with a D.  

Right now I am so mad because I just got an email from an instructor who wanted me to know he was going to give a team member full credit for a team paper that she did not contribute to.  I am not saying she contributed a little, she did NOTHING.  How does a college continue to be accreddited for that?  This student is also a UoP employee.  I am sure if she did all of the work and paid the high price of the course she would be upset as well. 

If I had this experience, I am sure many others have too.
As an executive I will no longer recognize a candidate with a BS degree from UoP the same as the local state college.  Accredited does not mean same quality of learning environment.  If a student can do nothing and get credit, what does that tell you?
I will not pursue any other education with UoP once my existing program is completed, and am so thankful this is only 10k and 6 classes of my time and money.
I dislike the feeling of being chained to a d or f student on team assignments.  It is like dragging a dead body around.  And if I don't, I personally go down.  
Based on other postings, it is clear UoP wants to entice those low level students to bring their money over and succeed with a "pay UoP, get your degree" plan.

The only positive thing I can say is the online courses provide flexibility for a professional.  I do feel like I have learned from the courseware and instructors.  I know I put in twice as much time in these UoP classes just because of all the dead weight that I have to carry on team assignments!

Amazing!

I had an amazing experience with UoP.  I am very excited and proud to have my BSM.  I think that many of the people who complain received exactly what they put in to it!  I am now a student at Harvard!  Best of luck to all!

Look at the Reviews - Do I have to say more?

Review:

Honestly, who are we kidding?  Would you seriously consider this school with all the B&M schools around.  I am so ashamed of my degree that I went back to a B&M school and earned a second bachelors in Business Management.  I don't even display the Bachelors for UoP on my resume.
