Review:

This is the worst University. I felt UOP was nothing but a cash machine, they sign you up and you are on your own. I was treated horribly by the financial counselours. I had 7 different financial counselours and 6 different academic counselours during my two years there, the confusion was of the charts. UOP does not have any qualified teachers, they hire some executive who has a job and a degree and no time to help the students. It is a shame as this University has state of the art technology and this could be one of the best Universities, but as anyone can attest by the excessive marketing of UOP that marketing themselves is the only thing they are good at. I have succesfully talked a few people out of attending this joint. There are several good on-line Universities out there, UOP just happens to be the worst with one of the highest price tags.

Review:

I chose University of Phoenix because it fit well with my schedule and allowed me to complete my bachelor's degree realtively quickly (3 years) compared to night classes at a local university.  The format was good, I got a lot out of the class discussions.

The downside is the cost (expensive).  In addition, UOP has been making some bad publicity lately which I hope doesn't tarnish the value of my degree over the years.  I would also like to see them tone down the advertising some, as I think this takes away from their perceived educational value.

If I had it to do over again, I think I would have went somewhere else...not because the education was bad, but because there are so many more programs and schools available online now compared to back when I started.

However, if you're considering UOP, it might be right for you.  It's not right for everbody, but it does have its value.
