Bachelor of Science in Human Services/Management

Reading these comments scares me, I really want to go here...BUT I am unsure, and because of the reputation it has. 

University of Phoenix (UOP), is a great school, especially if you are wanting to get your BS in Human Services. I have been at UOP for 3 years and have never really had any problems with the teaching methods. The classes can be very challenging in fact! I have to literally work at least 15 to 20 hours a week just to complete one week in one class. A lot of people think that they are going to online school and it should be easier than a classroom environment, in fact it is quite the opposite of that. If you think that because you are going to school online that the work will be quick and easy, think again! The reading is tremendous and the work is long and hard, but in the end it is worth the learning experience. The only people that seem to have problems with this school are the money seekers; AKA people who are going to college to get the money from loans and when they do not get it fast enough, they get irritated and become irrational. 

I am finshing up my A.A in Criminal Justice and I am starting my BS in December.  I have had two surgeries and still graduated.  UOP has never let me down.  The problem is that one has to communicate effectively and in a timely manner.  That is the Key...We all are having ups and downs, especially now, however we must do our part in letting the right people know what is going on ahead of time...

I RECEIVED MY BSHS/M AT UOP. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO OTHERS. YES, THE PRICES ARE EXPENSIVE BUT IT IS WORTH IT IN THE END. THE ADVISORS ARE THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WHETHER YOU HAVE TO WITHDRAW OR TAKING SOME TIME OFF. I NEVER! HAD PROBLEMS TALKING TO ANYONE. SOME OF THE INSTRUCTORS ARE MORE INFORMATIVE THAN OTHERS BUT YOU DID GET FEEDBACK FROM EACH ASSIGNEMNT POSTED AND THE PARTICIPATION. YOU WILL LEARN THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR FIELD AT UOP. I PLAN TO ATTEND UOP FOR MY MASTERS IN SOCIAL SERVICES. BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

This school has given me complete hell n the last year.  I have had a Mother on life support and my dad was put on dialysis.  They did not inform me that I was limited with waivers and during these stressful moments I was unable to focus on the work load.   They have told me to take a Professional Judgement, which they have denied twice.  I was not advised prior of the effects of waivers.  The faculty/staff members are young with no experience and fail to give out precise information.  Stuck!

I am thinking about attending UOP(Uvn. Of Phx)but; just reading the reviews scares me. I was laid off from my IT job back in May, 2008 and still looking for a job here in SC but; this state is slow about everything. I am forced to start over and I decided I would pursuit a degree in Human Service. I really like working with people of all ages. I just want to make sure that the communcation level is what it's suppose to be. Online course work is great but; only if you can get the help you need.  Would like to know if UOP is good  on communication and supported of their students?

I am finishing up my Associates in Business and am considering my Bachelors majors. I am interested in Human Services from UOP. Would you say that you feel comfortable about the program being able to prepare you for a decent job in the field of Human Services?

I am currently enrolled in this BSHS/M degree and would love to know any suggestions as to what other school  baldwinsm0101 enrolled in.  I think we have the same financial advisor.  She has been off for about 4 months and all of my money is screwed up!  UGH!  And no one calls me back or returns my emails.  It is so scary!

are you still enrolled? I would love to hear how the program is working.

I had just finished my degree in Business and I am currently enrolled in BSHS/305. I think that the team participation is very beneficial not only for our assignments but in future employment. Between working with other students and balancing out assignments, the team work allows equal input for all team members. This is a great school that allows people who find that their local colleges do not offer associates, bachelors, or a master degree.
