This is my third degree here at our university. I also received a certificate. I started in 2020, and I am to graduate for a fourth time in May of 2026. I received my Associate's in 2022, my Bachelor's in 2023, and my Entrepreneurial in 2024. I started my Master's in 2024, December, and I will be finished in May of 2026. I plan to stay and earn a Marketing degree.

I got kicked out of my course days before winter break when I was planning to complete the majority of my studying/coursework. University of Phoenix dropped me from a fully online course just days before winter break, despite a prior agreement with my instructor regarding attendance. I was immediately locked out and unable to complete coursework during the break. This has put my teaching credential at risk of expiring, caused significant financial hardship, and disrupted my ability to continue my career. For a university that advertises flexibility for working adults, the enforcement of rigid and unclear attendance policies in an online course was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this institution to working educators or parents who need predictable, transparent academic policies.

University of Phoenix changed my life when I didn’t think I’d survive the storms—abuse, discrimination, illness, surgeries, grief, and doubt. Through resilience and support, it helped me rise, reclaim my voice, and turn dreams into reality. Always!!!

University of Phoenix has been one of the greatest accomplishments that I have been able to maintain in my life. It has taught me to be more in the now with my life. I have been able to take classes and be able to achieve outside challenges and parts of my life. I'm capable of finding the time to continue my college degree and be a mother. I have the ability to work outside of going to classes without feeling too much pressure or not enough time managed for life. I'm truly grateful and blessed that I have the University of Phoenix helping me continue my education.

I have had really good experience with the university up to my last course! I like how there is flexibility to still be a full time working employee and have the opportunity to fulfill the dream of achieving higher education. The only not so positive thing I have to say would be that my las course has been a challenge and even after trying to get in contact with my professor to get clarification on assignments there has been not a call back. Other than that its an amazing opportunity and great learning experience.

Great support and much appreciated, however, in first week of class and days leading up to, I received no less than 6-8 classes. Way too much. As I enter my 4th week, I am still getting called a lot. Next, I think a better overview in week before start of classes, UOP should guide a new student through Logging in, accessing class, content, and "how to" everything.

I LOVE BEING A PHOENIX. 🐦🔥 The best part is the love and support from EVERY staff member. I have had a struggle or two during my bachelor program. The team of advocates were at the ready to help me through it all. Suggested I take a break. Come back and finish and I did. Was able to finish stronger. I will finish my MS in Psychology January 2026 and begin my Post Master's in the fall. Phoenix is the best education institution for me.

Completing my teaching certification at University of Phoenix was a positive experience that truly prepared me for success in the classroom. The program was precisely designed to meet the needs of educators, combining rigorous academic content with practical strategies for real-world teaching. Ms. Samantha **, Mary ** and Dr. ** were highly knowledgeable and supportive, offering valuable insights into best practices for inclusive education and classroom management. I especially appreciated the flexibility of the program, which allowed me to balance professional responsibilities while advancing my credentials as well as understanding personal challenges.
The coursework emphasized technology integration, student engagement, and evidence-based instructional methods skills that have been instantly applicable in my teaching role. University of Phoenix provided outstanding resources and guidance throughout the certification process, making it a smooth and rewarding journey. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a comprehensive, flexible, and high-quality pathway to becoming a certified educator.

I attended University of Phoenix and I was told that they offered the paralegal program, so I started taking classes and had some paralegal classes.Then, all of a sudden, I started having these other classes that did not even pertain to the law degree. I asked him why I was taking classes that didn't pertain to paralegal, and as I found out that all this time, they didn't offer the Associate Degree and Paralegal. I just felt like that was such a waste of my time. Considering that I was looking forward to getting my degree. And it lied to me. So I end up switching colleges, I finished up my worthless degree at University of Phoenix and then I moved on to my real degree at a real college, and I graduated. I clearly was ticked off at University of Phoenix and I clearly would never recommend that college for anything.

The doctoral program at the University of Phoenix is both demanding and rewarding. The coursework is rigorous and requires strong discipline, critical thinking, and consistent engagement with scholarly research and academic writing. The program challenges students to move beyond surface-level understanding by applying theory, research methodology, and evidence-based analysis to complex organizational and leadership issues.
What makes the experience worthwhile is the program’s practical relevance and strong faculty support. Professors provide detailed, constructive feedback that pushes students to improve the quality of their thinking and writing while remaining grounded in real-world application. Although balancing the workload with professional and personal responsibilities can be challenging, the structure of the program supports working professionals and encourages steady progress. Overall, the doctoral program is intellectually challenging, professionally enriching, and well worth the effort for those committed to scholarly and leadership development.

My educational experience at UOP was pretty good. I enjoyed the structure of class. All of my instructors and even phone representatives were great. No matter what I contacted UOP for, majority of what I needed support for it was there. Now, UOP needs to do something about the cost/tuition. We’re finishing with degrees and in debt for the rest of our lives. I wish I had known or been given more information about the cost. That’s my only issue, no one went deep enough nor spent enough time talking about the cost and things that you could expect to have repay.

The University of Phoenix means so much to me because it gave me the chance to grow, even when life was busy and complicated. I love how the flexible programs let me balance school, work, and family without feeling like I have to choose between them. The instructors and staff encouraged me, and the classes weren’t just theory; they connected directly to real life and helped me build confidence in my own abilities.

To be all the way honest this school has impacted me tremendously. I will say that I fall behind quite often because of so much I have going on at home and trying to survive, be a mom, work, pay bills, etc… But I always am able to get my work in when I can for the most part and I appreciate that convenience. Not only that this school has helped me in the outside world. I think about things differently. I articulate myself better. I’m able to respond better to debates/topics/conversations in the outside world because of what I’ve learned in the program … I know I might seem incognito, but I’m very grateful for the support and encouragement! It keeps me going …

My experience with UOPX has been great up until now. I have enjoyed my classes even though it’s very much teach yourself type of online courses. Just recently I was supposed to have my class paid and excess funds sent, however I was out under a SAP review which can take up to 10 business days. Well, it has been past the 10 business days and my class still has not been paid. A research review had to be open and that can take 24 days! I do my assignments on time, follow school conduct and also keep my GPA up (4.0). I do all these things to make sure I’m in good standing with the school but also with my financial aid and I still have not received my funds. One of the many reasons I chose to go to UOPX is because of how they disbursed funds. I use these funds to help me pay for living costs, it’s very frustrating.
