University of Phoenix

Pros: Real world experience, self paced, solid learning plan
Cons: Cost, difficult to network, online communications can be tricky.

Let me start my comment by providing my background. I was an administrator at Miami University, in Ohio, for seven years. I also started a Masters degree in Communications while working at Miami. I left and went into the corporate world. My ...

Pros: 5 week class, Geared towards working adults
Cons: Cost

I attended University of Phoenix from Feb. 98 to Aug. 2000. I now have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. You attend class for 4 hours, one day a week, for 5 weeks. Every 5 weeks you start a new class. This is so nice as you are able to concentrate...

Pros: One class at a time and the education is adequate.
Cons: High tuition and the academic counselors are hard to reach.

The University of Phoenix is not for everyone. Just like our tastes in movies, books, and sports differ, so too do the opinions of those who have attended or currently attend U of P. The pace is fast (one course at a time for five (5) weeks) and the...

Pros: see above
Cons: none

UoP has a lot to offer working adults. You must be working and at least 23 years old to attend. You can get your degree online without the time constraints of having to attend class at a certain time of the day. The counselors are very helpful in...

Pros: Easy to get out of the program
Cons: Slow servers, poor customer service, very expensive, poor teachers.

We were given very little time to get oriented with the confusing on-line environment. The UOP servers were so slow, during study groups, I would have to wait upwards of 45 minutes to get a reply--no live chat!! If you choose to go to an outside vendor...

Pros: Convenient location (online) Reliable classroom experience Rigorous courses, if you take them seriously
Cons: Expensive (but par) Lower reputation than many brick and mortar schools

I attended the first state university my first time around, but didn't finish due to family problems. After getting a "real job", finishing my degree at a brick and mortar school wasn't a very good option. I am now just a few classes away from ...

Pros: excellent up-to-date courses
Cons: expensive

am close to halfway through:
excellent program with 80% of the instructors being more than competent. All working adults in class with different backgrounds and all from leading companies; this makes it more interesting. It is a very very good...

Pros: Convenient night classes, Good Business Programs, Practitioner Faculty.
Cons: Range of degree's available, no daytime courses.

I graduated with a BSB/EB (E Business). I had an awesome Learning Team, great instructors. I worked hard on my program, and am proud to have finally graduated from college. I've read some of the negative reviews, and see that many adults haven't yet...

Pros: Flexible for Working Adults
Cons: Expensive

I attended a brick and mortar college when I was younger. I am returning to finish my degree. I have completed 4 classes at the University of Phoenix, and I really like the format. The classes are intense, but only last 5 weeks long.

...

Pros: Excellent school, outstanding facilities and equipment
Cons: To business like at times. Must travel to other libraries.

Do you want a really good school to attend to reach your educational goals? The University of Phoenix (UOP) may be exactly what you're looking for. UOP is a no nonsense school of higher education that cuts out the frills and concentrates on what the...

Pros: Attend on-ground or Online. Flexible scheduling
Cons: Cater to working adults mostly.

Still trying to juggle work, and school? Yes, aren't we all? The University of Phoenix offers evening classes 2 nights per week for 4 hour sessions. Classes are accelerated so you complete a full-time schedule on a part-time basis.

With...

Pros: Anyone can get into this school. No Standardized testing.
Cons: Students at U o P couldn't even graduate from a comminuty college.

I cancelled my enrollment after only three weeks. Here is my letter to the U o P admissions department. I don't think I'm getting my money back. I will not be returning to the U o P program. I am applying to take the GMAT this October and I ...

Pros: Undergraduate acceptance
compliance...thus far
convenience
Cons: price

Okay, So we want to %%itch and moan about a virtual institution that is negatively reviewed and costly. I look at it this way...you pay...you say. If UOP tries to deliberately take advantage of my good nature and believe that I am ...

Pros: Too many to name.
Cons: -Price

I have been with Axia College of Univeristy of Phoenix for about a year and a half now, working on my Assoc. in Elementary Education. Axia College is like the "community college" of UoP for those of you who do not know. I recently read a review ...

Pros: Great Marketing - worked on me
Cons: See above!

Overpriced, pushy staff, unclear policies

I did not enroll in UOP because I had such a terrible experience before I even reached that point! I first spoke with me "Enrollment Counselor" who was meant to walk me through the enrollment process to becoming a student. At first, she was very ...
