This doctoral program is entirely too long. All these fluff classes are taxing and really not useful in the grand scheme of things. At this level there should not be discussion questions within a class. I’m tired of that aspect and just hope these last 5 classes go by quickly.

From the moment I wanted to finish school University of Phoenix was a great option. I didn’t know how good of an option it was until I started interacting with enrollment specialist. Justice was extremely helpful took her time found every available avenue for financing to help me achieve, my goal of obtaining my bachelors degree in business. I finish my degree without applying for any student loans paid for the rest of my classes out-of-pocket. All of my professors were very knowledgeable in their area of expertise which made being in class enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the University of Phoenix for anyone no matter if they’re starting their journey from the beginning or finishing the journey, they’ve already started.

Educational resources seem limited. But the because of how they do the courses through fasfa for funding. They have you apply, then wait, then split funds, then wait, then you take out enough but their financial aid says you didn't and you take out more. It's ridiculous

From day one of enrollment until the last day of my last class I can honestly say that I had an amazing experience. I am a night owl so the only problem for me was remembering to call during business hours if I needed anything. However, with Arizona being the only state that doesn’t charge time, this became easier to calculate especially since Lou 6 weeisiana is later than Arizona anyway. I loved havingk classes instead of 8. Where I got my bachelor’s degree the classes were 8 weeks and honestly those extra two weeks were unnecessary.
For the most part I had amazing compassionate instructors who were truly involved with the students either via the DQ forum or a weekly live session. This makes a lot of difference because it makes the students feel like they are seen and not just a post on a forum and a weekly assignment that gets graded with all the rest. Anyway University Of Phoenix is an outstanding university and truly cares about the success of their students.

The communication regarding financial aid disbursement has been pretty bad. I made decisions that were based on what was communicated to me on the financial aid portal, and what was communicated to me on the portal and through letters/emails was not accurate. I’ve been waiting for 2 months for my final disbursement and the date keeps changing. It’s very frustrating. I’ve done everything that I’m supposed to do, now I need UOP to do its part. If the communication was better and realistic expectations were set, I could have approached things differently and I would not be in a bind. That is definitely a process that needs to be improved upon.

The school’s overall is a good school but I think that when a students signs up for any program they should feel welcomed to the oncoming school. They should receive a free gift bag or some sort of things from the school, we have to pay for the items that has been listed. Some can afford them and some can’t when they have to work and provide for their family and try to maintain school and their grades as well
