Review:

Not a bad school and the teachers seem to be qualified and well-spoken. However after a few courses I didn't feel like I was truly benefitting from the program, and it seems like everyone passes for just showing up and contributing basic input. In addition, the cost of the UoP courses are double and sometimes triple what other state universities with more recognizable programs charge. Unfortunately after almost three years and more than 20K in student loans I am now finding that many of my course credits are not going to transfer to another school. I just enrolled in the University Of North Carolina and was told that instead of needing 30 credits (with Univ of Phoenix) I would need 74. The sad thing is, I could repeat the entire program for less than what I have paid UoP. I would advise anyone considering the UoP to really research all the alternatives unless you have tuition assistance and are looking for a diploma from just anywhere.
