University of Phoenix Reviews

This is my third degree I am pursuing online. My first was with UoP Axia College for my Associates in Accounting from 2006 to 2008, then Thomas Edison State College from 2010 to 2012, and now my graduate degree here at the UoP for Data Science 2024 to 2025. What I love about the University of Phoenix, they allow you to focus on one subject at a time for 6 weeks. I like that. I feel like I learn more because I am juggling a family I am raising and a full-time job while pursuing this degree. Not easy, but UoP makes it doable to really absorb what you are learning so you can retain the information. Thank you!

As a single mother to a wonderful little boy, I am committed to being the best role model for him. Through hard work and dedication, I was able to achieve my goals with the help of University of Phoenix. My motivation comes from my faith in God and my son, who inspire me to reach for the stars!

My experience with the University of Phoenix was AMAZING! I am so happy I chose to attend to obtain my MBA. The competency-based program was exactly what I needed as a full-time mom working in a demanding career. This program enhanced my knowledge and skills, and I had the best instructors and mentors throughout the process. The University of Phoenix provided everything I needed, and I always had access to real people through phone, chat, or text messaging. I truly recommend this program to everyone, and if I decide to pursue another degree, I will definitely choose the University of Phoenix again!

"I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I have received from the University of Phoenix. The academic counseling team has guided me through my coursework, ensuring I stay on track for success. The career counseling services have provided valuable insights into my future career path, while the enrollment team made my transition seamless. Additionally, the financial aid services have been instrumental in helping me navigate funding options, making my education more accessible. I sincerely thank each of these departments for their dedication and commitment to student success. If you’ve had a similar experience, I’d love to hear how these services have helped you!"

University of Phoenix has been a great school. Couldn't ask for better. I have came back to school after 20 years and the experience has been wonderful. Everyone has been so hopeful and has made sure I have everything I need to succeed. They are constantly reaching out and asking if I need anything.

Since starting this journey at UOPX the faculty and staff have been such a delight, always there for me, the platform is so easy to navigate and self-explanatory and on the off chance of that you are lost or confused there's tech support all the time. It's just a really great place with a lot of awesome staff and faculty.

The facility and instructors go out of their way to support and help you. They really are with you every step off the way. Three have been times when I have become frustrated and wanted to withdrawal from school. So I called the university to withdrawal, the guidance counselor, they are all very caring, we talked through the reasons why I wanted to quit, we talked through it and here I am still enrolled as a full time student. Your instructors ate there with you too, the entire staff at the University when I say they are there right beside you every step of the way, they truly are and truly care. To be honest this is the most support, and support system I have had throughout my life.

I am completely happy with how school has been going so far. I have accommodations that has been being utilized and my instructors have been wonderful in working with me. They have been professional but down to earth, which makes me pretty comfortable to be myself and open up. The courses have been amazingly set up for success and most people should be able to work along the layout without too much problems. Yes, I do highly recommend Phoenix to anyone looking to continue their education.

University of Phoenix has made it not only possible for me to go back to school but also made it very easy for me to balance school, work, and my personal life. If I had any friends who were trying to go back to school I would totally recommend. I actually heard about this school from a coworker who was just about to graduate with her degree.

Oral communication class and the instructor is Dr. **. I had my camera on during my offline assignment but I didn’t notice that it was not on so she said I earned full credit but I did not nor would she let me correct the mistake. She Alaysia take way more than 48 hours to answer your messages.

I have gotten 6 of my friends to go to this school and I have nothing to show for it! Why don’t you Guys have a referral program like some money off my classes or free merch something. You're getting thousands for the student. I’m just saying. Like I help out a lot and my friends are thriving which is good but still I need some type of compensation for the referrals.

My experience has been incredible, I could not ask for a better team of professionals leading the way in my education, I will be eternally grateful. One big takeaway that I have is the ability to learn on such a simple style of teaching for whichever professor it is they are more than willing to help when needed.

This school and their employees have helped me tackle my fears of returning to school. They have been helpful and encouraging every step of the way. The follow up calls are so appreciated especially with how overwhelmed I have been with my personal life. I probably would have neglected my dream of changing programs if they had not called. I’m now on the road to my dreams coming true.

I enjoyed the classes, the online classroom experience, and most of the professors. What I did not enjoy is the relentless admissions department when I was interested in continuing on to a masters. Calling day, night, and multiple times per day. I had over a dozen messages in a short period of time. That experience would make me stay away from UofP. It's a shame that it was that bad as there are good people doing good work there on the academic side.

I am loving going to college especially at University of Phoenix. I would recommend the school to anybody. I enjoy all my classes so far and my professors. My professor for English 101 was one of the best teachers I've had so far. She's gone out of her way to help me. English was my hardest subject in high school and she made it one of the easiest classes for me so I have to recommend her for one of the best professors I've had.

My experience had been amazing! The professors have been incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They are all very accommodating when emergencies pop up as well. I have experienced three hurricanes in a short amount of time and each professor was very understanding and willing to help me in any way they could. They also were concerned about my well-being and not just me turning my school work in time. I would definitely recommend UoP to anyone!

I have thoroughly enjoyed continuing my education through University of Phoenix. My classes have been a great learning experience, the staff has been fantastic, and accessibility/technical aspects have been uneventful. My only regret was that I didn't pursue this opportunity sooner. If anyone you know has been putting it off, tell them to go for it! I'm loving it!

Every experience I have had with UOPX has been very flexible, and accommodating to ensure my needs are met, in regards to class schedules, tutoring, additional resources or people available should I have questions about assignments or technology issues. While there are some personal nitpicks, UOPX puts students first. I have and do recommend UOPX to anyone looking to pursue additional education.

This is my second degree program with University of Phoenix and I must say that overall it's been pretty great. The only issue I ever have is the constant delay in disbursements and lack of communication. I have been considering continuing my journey with the Doctorate program after this Dual Masters MHA/MBA but it will depend on financial aid and what happens with Trump cutting everything. I don't feel like you can have too much education and if I am honest, I love to learn. I have a need and thrive for it.

The doctoral program was a nightmare. I was not withdrawn from a class while I was sick and ended up getting a failing grade, they tried to make me pay for that class, they put me in the wrong class, and the instructor in my last course forgot to grade my assignments, put another student’s assignment in my grading section, and when my final grade came around he gave me a failing grade when he gave me an A on an assignment prior with no feedback. The other staff member that was supposed to help during her scheduled time was not available to assist me when I had issues because she was driving. I have since withdrawn from the school and starting at a new school in the fall.

Studying at the University of Phoenix has been an enriching experience. The flexible online classes allowed me to balance my studies with personal commitments, providing a convenient yet rigorous learning environment. The curriculum was practical and up-to-date, with instructors bringing real-world experience to the classroom. Support services, including academic advisors, were readily available and genuinely helpful, enhancing my academic journey. Overall, my time at the University of Phoenix was productive and empowering, equipping me with valuable skills and knowledge for my career.

This have been the best experience I've had. I'm glad and proud of the improvements that were made. It made it easier for us students who also have families outside of school. My overall experience is awesomeness and will highly recommend and have recommended my friends and family to join the family.

I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge throughout this experience. One of the most appealing aspects is the flexibility it offers; being able to study on my own schedule without the pressure of attending live classes at specific times is incredibly convenient. This freedom allows me to manage my time effectively and tailor my learning around other commitments. Additionally, the professors are not only knowledgeable but also very supportive. They take the time to provide thorough explanations and are always willing to assist students with any questions or challenges they encounter. Their commitment to student success is evident, making the learning process both engaging and rewarding.

I love that I can do my schoolwork wherever I am. I use both my laptop and cellphone. I can make sure that I study everything for the week. I love that I can also do it on my own schedule. I don’t have a set schedule for my classes.

My experience with instructors and taking the courses has been great. Unfortunately, cannot say the same with the financial services office. I have been waiting for 3 months to get my financial plan updated and they keep giving me some kind of excuse to keep prolonging processing my student loans. They do keep sending emails reminding me that a payment is due, but nothing gets done.

I recently received a call before. I've had my morning coffee and I was getting very frustrated because the financial situation that I had to redo multiple times. It never really went through properly. If they had just explained it in the beginning that it was only over seven dollars per class, I would have just said, "Bill me."

I completed my BSN-Nursing program with University of Phoenix in 2017 and decided to come back for my Masters in Nurse Education. The program is fast paced, the instructor's knowledgeable, accessible, and always willing to help. I needed a program that fit my work schedule and still allowed me a life outside of school and my full-time job. I highly recommend University of Phoenix.

Good, tailored and organized lecture model with compounded comprehension geared towards effective deliverables. Resources are adequate, and it provided all that the student needs in other to succeed. The practical dimension / exercise provides the student invaluable guides towards building a more proper understanding of the subject matter which in most cases leads to an inadept understanding of the subjects.

I have gained an exceptional amount of support from all of my professors, academic advisors, technical and financial aid staff during my course of study at the University of Phoenix. I would recommend this college to family and friends. The college has supplied me with the necessary educational knowledge-based tools to fulfill my degree. Thank you UOP!

Most of my dissatisfaction comes from my undergrad experience. In my opinion, the information I was given about my program and even options were not clearly laid out and led to many confusing conversations about aid and payment. When I came back to finish my undergraduate degree I stated upfront that I didn’t want to start if I needed to pay out of pocket because I was aware I was near the limit just was not sure if I would be past the limit by the time the program ended. When I got toward the end of the program then I was told I needed to do study.com or pay for classes out of pocket. In addition, my major I came to the school with was discontinued and I tried to do the classes but the classes were set up for teams and I was stuck doing work or trying to do work for a whole team alone. Personally, I almost didn’t come back for the Masters. I only did because the program was short. I will say this time in the MBA program there were no surprises.

I really love the school. I'm proud of myself. There are some things that I don't understand. I'd recommend this university.. Just don't understand why the financial aid is so low. Other than at the school is fine. I like the instructors. I like the teachers. I like the way the school is. I like to work with the textbooks the coursework. I'm really proud of myself and I've been here for a year so far now. It's an amazing school. I would recommend it.

6 years ago when I started my journey through school I was so worried about how I was going to do it. At that time I was just going for my Bachelor's in Accounting. I was given an opportunity from a leader to join the accounting team for my employer if I went back to school! So, I took the leap and did it! I was a mom of 5 children and have an amazing husband to support my decision. I still worked, went to school, and handled the daily tasks out being a mom.

University of Phoenix has been so great to me. I love the flexibility, the professors are always very professional and engaging, and the classes are well-arranged. When I broke my arm a couple of months ago, I was very pleased with how much the university accommodated my needs and provided an ample amount of resources for me to still continue my classes. I definitely do recommend UoPX to my friends, and always will!

The first year was great with financial aid covering all my educational expenses. Since the changes were made regarding financing by University of Phoenix, I am receiving emails and calls saying I have an overdue balance at the University of Phoenix. I have applied for and received enough loans to cover the entire cost of my education, so I am not happy with being told I have an "overdue balance".

LDR 726 is not an eight week course and bias to the working student that has a full time job. This course requires an assignment every week of 1000 to 1400 words, an interview with an individual, PowerPoint, an Excel survey, and a business survey. This course is designed for an adult student drop it and fail. The individual who designed this course never took it or one like it. T

I could not be more disappointed with my time at University of Phoenix. I went for the bachelor's in accounting program online and had nothing but issues. I wanted to take extra courses on the Study.com site they recommended so I was taking them and thought I was doing great. My counselors and advisors would call to check up on me and never said a word about how I was taking the classes twice. It was about two classes in on Study.com that I realized I was learning the same material. I called and they finally admitted they messed up my scheduling. It took WEEKS of phone calls to resolve this.

My experience has been steady and fluid. Instructors have been engaging. I have always respected and love the flexibility. I love the learning space we have. The material is challenging but easy to follow. The learning environment is thought provoking. My learning peers are quite smart and motivated. One day I am looking forward to also instructing classes. As an UOPx alumni. Thank you!

My experience with this university was awesome and a positive experience. I have completed my associate, bachelor's and master's degree with ease and learned a great deal. The master's program was my most favorable experience and it landed me two promotions. The programs does prepare you for the workforce!

The classes are fine, but Bibliu makes classes almost impossible. The narrator function is atrocious, slow, annoying, and does not even follow punctuation often taking long breaks in the middle of a sentence. And I am unable to utilize a 3rd party narrator due to the security/copy restrictions. As someone with vision problems and ADHD, it is often hard for me to complete my reading assignments.

Before the last few weeks, I would have given UOP 5 stars without hesitation. I'm at the point where I need to find preceptors for my clinicals, which has been a disaster so far. The first clinical is psychotherapy. UOP has placed rules stating it has to be with certain credentials and at least where I live in Ohio, this is not common at all!!!! I'm so disappointed because I have found amazing people willing to take me on as a student, even in my own community so it should be such an exciting time but it isn't. When I reached out to the clinical liaison I was lied to and told most students have found preceptors already. I'm in a group chat with most of the students in my class and almost all are having the same difficulty. What's worse is that the Ohio Board of Nursing doesn't have this stipulation. This is a decision UOP made own it's own. I have no idea what to do from here.

I have NEVER felt so supported by an educational staff in my life... At UOPX, The Advisors are compassionate and understanding.. The professors are patient and knowledgeable, and know how it is to have to juggle life and work and home all at once... I'm only partly into my freshman year.... BUT CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THIS JOURNEY HAS TO OFFER!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have done all of my college at University of Phoenix, and I am currently in my Master's program to be a counselor. I like that I can do school at my pace. I like that the faculty and advisors try to be available and approachable and deliver on the graduate school experience. They also help students with job placement after graduation. I recommend everyone to UoP.

I had one of the best experiences with the University of Phoenix. The instructors are really great, and they also have great accommodations for people in need. I highly recommend this school for anyone especially people with kids the hours are very flexible, and they have a great support system. I have been on the dean's list since school started, and I am very excited to be the first family in my generation to graduate from college. I am very proud of all the hard work I have accomplished. I never thought that I would make it to where I am.

I have access to a comprehensive digital library, online math and writing assistance, tutorials, and technical support. The university offers opportunities to earn college credit for work and life experiences through a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), which can help reduce the cost and time required to complete a degree. Overall, the University of Phoenix aims to provide personalized support and resources to help students succeed in their academic and professional goals. I personally enjoy my time spent learning with the University of Phoenix.

I would recommend Mr. Steve ** class to any one of my friends. He was always there to answer any questions or concerns that I might have had with my assignments. He would also explain certain things that was missed or not cleared in the assignment and would ask if there was something that he could help with.

I’ve had a great experience so far. The website is easy to navigate & I love that. I recently got invited to join the NSLS & I am excited about it. I can’t wait until I graduate, as I will be the first from my family to graduate college! The communication from the teachers is top tier & clear expectations are set from the beginning.

My overall experience with this school hasn’t been the greatest. I have a chronic illness and was back and forth from the hospital for months, the school did not approve my accommodations although I applied multiple times with no response. I had to keep calling in order to get it approved. Which resulted in a withdrawal and having me pay $465 dollars. I don’t agree with the decision and even asked if I could retake the class at the end of my cycle which was rejected

I was extremely nervous to go back to school. It was intimidating being an older student and out of school for 8 years. Having said that, I have had nothing short of support and guidance through this program. The instructors were responsive and supportive. The classes were accelerated and challenging. I am so excited to graduate and happy with my experience here at UOPX

I have so far enjoyed being in school. Yes it does get hard with two jobs, family and just life but I'm doing. The only thing I do dislike is the financial aid sections of the calling some of the people as nice but you do get some that just seem a little aggravated your calling. Overall I would and have recommended to people to attend University of Phoenix.

I am a Phoenix; I started my relationship with Phoenix back in 2010. I have had my rough patches with school but the support that I received gave me that second wind of energy. May 30th, 2015 I received my BAS in Human Service Management and on May 30th, 2025, I will receive my master's in psychology. Thank you for the educational experience.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my experience with the University of Phoenix. Overall, taking courses was a great experience. The structure of the courses, accessibility of materials, and support from instructors contributed to a positive learning environment. However, I did face some challenges along the way. During my coursework, I fell ill and had to take a sabbatical. Unfortunately, I was required to complete my current week before stepping away, which impacted my ability to perform at my usual level and ultimately led to a lower grade. While I understand the need for structure, it was a difficult situation that I wish had more flexibility.

So far everyone has been extremely helpful. Would not be in school without the support of tech support. The classes hard, but broken down for easier to understand. I take 1 class at a time and use all available resources. Would recommend this school to anyone going back to school.

I have been very pleased with the whole process here. Professors and staff have been very helpful and followed up with me consistently. I will recommend UOP to others. Accounting has been very helpful and worked with me whenever I have needed it. I went to UOP over 25 years ago when they had a small campus in Provo Utah. My experience there was the reason I came back to get an MBA.

I feel my classes do not challenge me enough. Also I have 35 year experience as a lab analyst. I could probably teach a class. I need this degree so I can move home to Idaho to take care of my mom. I should have had it 30 years ago.

My experience so far at the University of Phoenix has been wonderful and life changing for me! I have truly grown as a person and my whole life has changed for the better as well! I would definitely recommend the University of Phoenix to anyone who was interested in getting back into school!

I did not enjoy the last class I took due to the biased facilitator named Betti **. I also did not like that certain students only replied to my post to hurry up and beat the clock. It is not positive learning environment for me personally. I've include some examples below.

I am happy that our enrollment representative call us to check in on us. But my representative would call excessively, most of the time I was called someone else's name and he really was not aware of my courses. I think calling once a week is more than enough not daily and even on Sundays, especially bright and early. Other than that my experience with UOP has been great. Other people I have spoken to have been very helpful and have been understanding of my requests.

I have been attending the UOPX for a while now and I have to say that I love it here. The instructors are amazing people they help you get through the things that you are having trouble with no matter how many questions you ask there are there to help. And if you still don’t get the gist of the assignment you always have the library or the student help center. So there’s always help when ever you need it.

The professor are very polite and transparent and available when you are having trouble, will help you and give you details accordingly to the class, my academic counselor called me about once a week to check on me and tell me how I'm doing in class and keep up the good work and ask if I have any questions

This course was not a pleasant experience for me. I was passing the quizzes but not the assessments. The tests were laid out by scenario and you had to answer correctly how you would respond in the scenario and it was preheated by points for whatever your selection was. There are many ways to properly communicate business effectively so it was an unfair scale. Most of the material was irrelevant and none of it covered in the exams. I would better find a way to showcase skills and knowledge within the same topics provided and test on the information gone over than hypotheticals.

The program is decent and for the most part you get what is presented. However, a major part of the pull for this program is the "do it on your own time" messaging that makes it great for those who have full-time jobs. However, there is a decent amount of group work in this program that does not truly allow students to complete work on their own time. The group work did not add value to the class in my opinion but just made it more frustrating. It was also frustrating that it strayed from the flexibility that I was specifically promised when I chose this as my program.

My academic experience so far has been extraordinary; however, my financial help has been less than unremarkable; I had a pretty big surgery yesterday... an external wire fixator’ was attached to my left leg and I'm to be NON WEIGHT BEARING for the next six months... I had to borrow money from people to buy a wheelchair (that’s embarrassing!) because my grant hasn’t been sent to me; I don’t understand the hold-up.

Finance office is a joke. Melissa ** is the only one in that office that is any good. The school pisses people off and don't like what the students say at that point. The guy Rickey only calls it emails when the school wants something. I have had nothing but trouble from day one. If I didn't truly want this degree I would have already dropped.

I like most things however the one class every 5 weeks is not challenging. I would love to take multiple classes at one time. I just think that there needs to be something more stimulating. Also maybe offer something where you can test out of certain subjects. That would be wonderful. I love everything else though. Thank you so much for taking the time to ask.

My experience at UOP was very very good, the instructors I had were awesome. The different resources that they offer us as students were amazing. Everything was so excellent that I will be returning in April to get a degree in Bachelors of Science in Health Administration. So I am very excited about that.

The classes need to be more understanding for lame person. Instructor should have video explaining and have optional textbook. Online book should be printable. Some classes should be longer than 5 weeks. Programming should be taught from the beginning and use what mostly likely use in the field. Need offer more tutoring and easy way for people to get mentorship.

The application process was easy and the student support services were very friendly and helpful with all my questions. The professors genuinely want to see students succeed and provide great feedback to make that happen. Even the financial aid office reached out to make sure that I understood the process. Every point of contact wants to ensure the best experience for the student.

This school has been very great and understanding and extremely helpful. I was struggling for a bit and instead of knocking me down, they were kind and patient enough to help me figure things out and get back on track for my success. I wish I knew about this school sooner in life.

The Public Health program has been nothing short of amazing. Dr. ** and her entire team provide amazing feedback and constructive help. Ms. **, Dr. **, Mr. **, and Dr. ** work collectively to ensure students understand all concepts of public and community health. I am glad I chose to come back to UoP to pursue my graduate degree.

Easy to follow and the instructor was always available to answer any questions. A couple of times I needed some assistance with submitting an assignment and the instructor got back to me quickly and guided me through the process. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was able to submit my assignment on time and received full credit.

My great experience attending classes with UOP is marvelous. It has been a blessing great opportunity for me to continue my education. I want to thanks UOP for giving me this chance to show myself improve that I can earn my master as well maintain good grades. I’m enjoying the professors as well the classmates in different courses.

It’s been overall a great experience earning two degrees with University of Phoenix. You do have some teachers who are unnecessarily extremely strict in requirements and refuse to give you 100% but other times, you have great teachers who are more than willing to help with any and all questions. This can’t be avoided wherever you go but I will say, the University excels in communication and makes sure you have all the resources necessary for school and to be successful. I love the flexibility that’s allowed in the program as a single mom with a full time job in school full time as well. Many other schools do not give any flexibility in their programs and this worked best for my life and will benefit many other people to come!

Being a young mom and pursuing a college education is a challenge, but this university has given me a renewed sense of purpose. From the moment I enrolled, I felt supported and valued, even as an online student living states away. The sense of belonging this school provides is incredible—I don’t feel like just a number; I feel like a true member of the community. The professors and support staff have gone above and beyond to make learning accessible, flexible, and engaging, allowing me to balance my education with motherhood. The encouragement and resources available have reassured me that my dreams are not only valid but achievable. Every class, every interaction reminds me why I started this journey, and I no longer feel alone in it. This school has made the impossible feel possible, and for that, I will always be grateful.

I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Phoenix, and my experience was highly rewarding. The flexible, online learning environment allowed me to balance my education with my professional and personal responsibilities. The courses were structured to encourage real-world application, making the learning experience both practical and engaging. The faculty, many of whom were industry professionals, provided valuable insights and support throughout my academic journey. Additionally, the collaborative learning model fostered meaningful discussions with classmates from diverse backgrounds, enriching my perspective. Overall, my time at the University of Phoenix equipped me with essential skills, knowledge, and confidence to advance in my career.

Great school with fabulous instructors. Love the short 5 week classes and the accommodations that I'm granted. Would definitely recommend to show who wants to further their education. Always a joy to attend class and be able to do it on my time. Would like to see different electives available.

I wanted to change my program major after completion of the first 2 classes I took and was told to set up a payment plan and I did. I was told I would be able to as soon as I did that then after I did that my financial aid came In And was applied to several classes I won’t be taking due to my program change. I feel like my money is being stolen.

Attending UOP was a very rewarding experience! I had professional instructors, who were fair & very helpful. I acquired a degree in an area I was originally not familiar with. But the professors taught well & were knowledgeable in their field. It helped me learn a lot about an area I was previously intimidated with.

Overall, the program is solid, and the professors are great. I wish more would be done to help us get internships. The career center and online networking system are there, but they aren't the assets that I was hoping for. The UoP network is massive, but that also makes it impersonal for online students. I think adding an internship option would take this program to the next level.

My experience so far has been positive, thought-provoking and supportive. I enjoy the feeling of taking steps to reach my goals with the assistance of my faculty members, peers, and family. I am growing and learning so much throughout my courses and my confidence has enhanced. I am learning how navigate life's changes and accepting the challenges that come with it.

This is a class that is great for everyone to take. It helps make you aware of what is recommended to maintain a healthy diet. This course also helps awareness of issues throughout our country and world. By having this course in the beginning of your studies, you are able to start becoming more familiar with course expectations at the UofP.

The program has been excellent and very applicable to my professional and personal lives. The professors are very responsive, helpful, and understanding of working professionals and how school and work affect each other! There's a lot of resources that are beyond that of a traditional university such as check ins from advisors, career development both in the program and after, and the fact that a lot of employers are partner to give tuition discounts. I would definitely recommend anyone to try a UoP program!

UOP helped me get my bachelor's degree and now my MBA all while working 50+ hours a week. You shouldn't be forced to do hybrid or on campus to better yourself. Working professionals need online in order to get their degrees. The ways of old are done and online only options should be at every university. Thank you UOP.

The academic advisor was very rude and matter of fact. The school continues to disappoint me and I will be glad to part ways. I would not recommend to anyone. I would like to discuss this matter further with an academic supervisor. I can be reached at ** any day or time.

My experience is exceptional. I have a great support team at the UoP. I would gladly recommend this University. This is my third degree at the University of Phoenix. The course is meeting my day to day work experiences. The faculty and staff ensure that they respond to all my need in a timely manner and the guidelines for the classes although can be challenging, helps me to learn at a higher standard that I appreciates.

I'm currently getting an associate's degree in criminal justice. I decided to go back to school after my first career ended due to injury. I have been learning so much and the course curriculum helps you stay on track and on a schedule. This school makes sure that they do NOT set you up for failure.

I would recommend the University of Phoenix to anyone that is seeking an initial teacher certification. My experience with the college has been awesome. Further, I feel fully prepared to take on the role of classroom teacher. The instructors are knowledgeable in my field. Ashly ** and Tsega were amazing in assisting me with any needs that I expressed.

I have enjoyed learning about all of the different subjects like finance, computer science and writing. The instructors, staff and support are great and always helpful and fair. I also like that University of Phoenix is a nationally accredited school, it makes my future degree worth more because I can use it anywhere in the U.S.

I've had a great experience at the University of Phoenix. I highly recommend the university to friends or family looking to expand their education. The instructors are very hands-on and helpful with questions and concerns. I also felt a lot of support from other university employees when I applied for my MPH and while working out my field experience.

I am getting my degree in cyber security, I have enjoyed each course and I am extremely pleased with the support that I am receiving. I would definitely recommend to anyone to attend the university. I will continue on to achieve my bachelor's degree. They have made it so easy to get each course done and to make it easy to follow.

I really have enjoyed this course, it has taught me so much that I didn't know about disease. I recommend any student to take a course in health and disease to learn about the different diseases and their symptoms. Getting my degree in Health administration teaches me a lot to know about the field.

I’ve loved attending University of Phoenix but I’ve been really irritated since I was told I had to turn in my high school diploma, even though I was already enrolled in classes and now it’s been turned in & I’m still waiting because my account is on hold and I currently do not have an upcoming class.

I found the University of Phoenix to be a very excellent and sociable university. I am proud to be associated with this university. It has given me a different outlook on life. Being 69 years old, I thought it would be impossible but the university made it possible for me to understand and take pride in who I am as a student. My academic counselor, Keegan has been exceptional as well as the other professionals. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to excel to a higher level in education. God bless the University of Phoenix. I look forward to my graduation in June, 2025.

My experience of my journey with my online schooling has been satisfying because I had doubt navigating, because I wasn't computer savvy, now I can say that this experience has taught me to never doubting myself and stay determine to keep moving forward. I'm happy that I started and never gave up on myself because all I have myself is myself

I have learned a lot in this course. I first earned a bachelor's degree and got a job as an online tutor. Now, I am developing a course in English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). The principles and practices I am learning in my final class will be implemented in my TEFL course. Thank You University of Phoenix

I’m pleased with my education and take full responsibility for my actions. As a working adult, I have been able to make the necessary adjustments to invest time in my education. The University of Phoenix has supported my efforts to advance my career path. For that, I am eternally grateful.

My experience with the University of Phoenix has been nothing short of amazing. As a first-time college student, I chose to pursue a Bachelor’s degree instead of an Associate’s, and I have no regrets. The support from instructors and academic advisors has played a crucial role in my success, helping me maintain a 3.88 GPA. Every instructor has been dedicated, providing valuable feedback and guidance that have helped me grow academically and professionally.

My experience working towards both my Bachelor's and Master's has been phenomenal. The staff were extremely helpful and put my mind at ease when I had self-doubt that I could do this. Being able to do my courses completely online has made it an attainable goal for working parents such as myself. If it wasn't for the flexibility in scheduling, accessibility to resources, opportunity for personalized learning, I could not be where I am today, just months away from earning my Master's. I am so grateful for the opportunity to go through this journey and I would encourage any working parent/individual to do it.

I can say that I'm so glad with the choice that I made to try again at the University of Phoenix, like it's been nothing but a dream come true to be able to go back to school and do nothing but continue to move my feet forward for the next big adventure with getting a degree.

I have had an absolute wonderful experience with the university, I feel like I’ve come pretty far in my degree and I look forward to moving forward. It’s been pretty easy to navigate and work through. The course material is relevant to real-world situations. I apply a lot of what I’m taught in the real world.

I feel that there were some teachers that just did not care when you asked for help. I also feel that group projects are something that should not be a part of any of it. Students just don’t understand that you must work together. There needs to be a better way to communicate.

My experience with this university thus far as been extremely positive. Their dedicated staff are always willing to help and give advice. The courses are transparent and easy to navigate through. Everyone has been extremely friendly and willing to support you on your educational journey. I would highly encourage anyone who is thinking about going back to college, to call University of Phoenix and see what programs and resources they have available for you.

The classes are well structured, and the Professors are very helpful. I would recommend this course to others and any Phoenix course.

The teacher, professors are great at what they do. The discussion post, and essays, PowerPoints are great learning tool. The only issue is that the process of conferring the degree and receiving the diploma in 45 days, should be shortened. The other recommendation is that all teachers and professors should be following the same guidelines, for example when completing modules, they should be due on Monday, and Not Saturdays. I believe it is a great university, that my daughter attends, and high school son will also be attending.

I live in a state with only one agreement with UOP to participate. At this time, it has been extremely difficult to find an organization that will volunteer time to accomplish this. Prospective advisors feel that the time they need to put into my project takes too much time away from their work.

I had a great and amazing experience. The faculty to the representatives were so resourceful and never lead me the wrong direction. I ended up with a 3.96 GPA. The resources are out there for any possible challenges you may encounter or have. Do not give up. The sky is the limit.

The University of Phoenix was phenomenal at helping me tackle the challenges of being a full-time worker and a degree seeker. The staff was always very responsive and that assisted me in achieving my goal. If I decide to seek my Master's degree, without a doubt I will be going to UOPX!

Having one class at a time was helpful when it came time to do school work and work a full time job. Most of the professors were helpful in wanting you to excel in the program, but there were a few that I felt were not up to par. Online college is difficult no matter where you go - but this university had different ways to help you when it was needed. My only complaint with the university is not having more professors available to teach classes. I had one professor that I was not able to work with, and in order to change to a different one I would have had to change my whole schedule which would have impacted my financial aid.

I suppose University of Phoenix is a good school, if you wish to continue education in your current field, or the degree you're looking for is business related. If you're pursuing a Human Services or teaching degree, make sure it will be recognized in the state where you wish to work. Also be aware of more time being added on, before you can graduate. Due to my age at the time I attended, my concern was graduating at such an advanced age that getting a job would be more challenging. Not a good recipe if I would have to pay off student loans, in the process.

I started my first class on November 19th in business administration. I have been told I should get my financial aid reward letter after I post on the fourth week. Here it is my class ends today. They tell me when I call, I haven't been officially evaluated yet I got to wait. I need my excess funds, and I am going to call every day if I got to.

When I first started at Phoenix, it was a great school, and I loved everything about it. I was able to obtain an Associate’s, Bachelor’s, and Master’s degree. However, the school I once enjoyed became one I absolutely dreaded. Being just three days away from completion, I received a call informing me of an outstanding balance — despite my account indicating a balance of $0.00 throughout the entire year. I am beyond disgusted with this school and the headache I experienced at what I thought would be a joyous moment for me. This entire situation completely changed my outlook on the school. The financial aid process has been nothing short of horrible.

I have made the decision to further my education by pursuing a doctorate degree. However, the enrollment process has been challenging, with considerable confusion and frequent miscommunication. As a result, I am considering contacting the institution to request a change in my enrollment counselor to ensure a more efficient and seamless experience moving forward.

I started classes October 15, 2024 and supposed to got my refund October 24, 2024 and they keep telling me that I have excess funds but they are taking the disbursement one class at a time. You can see they have already taken my Pell and some loan but won't send me my refund. This school is becoming more and more sketchy to me. I just want to go to school without someone holding my money.

My educational experience was great. Now that I have graduated, I am struggling to obtain a position where I can utilize my degree. This is frustrating as I have the experience and now the education to move up. I have been unable to find any UOP assistance that is offered in this area.

UOP Academic counselors use internal jargon while communicating with students. Which actually translates to being insensitive and passively rude with students who have to use LOA’s or wish to transfer to a more suitable institution. I started my LOA at the end of a semester. Am being denied my 180 LOA limit. The Advisor withdrew me from the school at 140 days. After extensive conversations with finance, academic counselors. I have been locked out of my student portal to verify if I went beyond my LOA limits, how to withdraw. In the meantime I’m in withdraw status while scheduled for a new semester so that some of my grant funding can be held by the University. When asking to speak to a manager or even the President of the University or to be sent email correspondences, they are not sent.

I am very please with this university. I most like the tools and resources that are readily available to students. I also like how every assignment is carefully written out in a step by step format. All learning activities are easy to follow and study. My only issue would be the timeliness in which instructors respond to messages. I wish they could be more prompt but I do understand that everyone has different workloads and obligations. Overall would refer to a friend!

I was very apprehensive, going back to school, but when I finally did it, and I chose University of Phoenix. Speaking to just about everybody from my academic counselors to financial to tech support, even the teachers I felt heard and listened to, and I'm so happy I went back, got my BS in Environmental Sciences.

I am taking an Advance Software Programming Certificate with the University of Phoenix. I can honestly say I have learned NOTHING. I signed up with this college to update my skills so I can return to doing software tech support. The classes are completely outdated. Following the instructions is impossible because the versions of software they are using to teach on are no longer supported. Extremely disappointed and a real scam!

I have been enrolled in UOPX and I am almost finished with the program. Well I was told that hey you can get Pell now, I am 4 classes away from being done so I ask about only to have to put in these so called ticket that's suppose to take five days. Well that went on for about three weeks. Finally got it issued then I get told it's going to disburse in 3 day. Okay cool only to get hit with it's going to be late. Okay no problem. Then the days passed and I get an alert. Something is wrong with Pell. It's going to be delayed.

The classes are qualified to prepare for an occupation that best fit a student. Those are study guides that increase long-term relationships in the work fields from University of Phoenix lessons as an alumni. Toward it correspondence of each other informations to experience specialized differences within an easier way in today's educational revolutionary changes.

This school never told me when I could drop without having financial responsibility. All they want is your money. I was changing programs and they were still trying to get me to pay a 500 balance because I posted as they kept advising to do. Don't go here!!! Glad I found out the hard way early on.

Issue has been resolved.

While attending the UOPX to earn my Associate of Arts degree I rate the university 5 stars for my overall experience. From the beginning to the end every staff member I spoke with was so friendly and helpful. They made every step of my journey seem easy. The support and dedication they give to the students attending the university is incredible. If and when there was a time I doubted myself and wasn't sure if I'd complete my program there was a faculty member that reassured me that I could do it. Now I'm about to start my next degree and program and I've received the exact same friendliness and helpfulness as before. I'm extremely excited to see what this next chapter has in store for me! Thank you University of Phoenix for being by my side during one of the greatest achievements of my life!

The whole process was sketchy and too many to list. I tried to power through it until I was done with everything but they continued making up obstacles and dragging my process, stating that "I have time." Sounds like a bunch of psychopaths that fake the niceness but get a kick out of messing with potential students. I'm still confused by the whole thing and she didn't want to hear it or explain: she just wanted me to deal with it despite I was already letting many things slide. I suggest requesting another enrollment advisor if this happens to you and for some reason want to consider it. But she might pretend to be the manager so you feel stuck with her. This is just one of the many red flags.

I enrolled at UOfPHX with the hopes of restarting my education. What I found out on the first day of class was that the book they wanted us to use for class was nowhere to be found and when I asked everybody I could think of where to find the book they told me to call technical support and said, "Well watch this YouTube video and it will give you all the answers you need." Not one person helped me. I made the decision after I posted in class A welcome hello before the class even officially started which wasn't worth any points and I withdrew from the class either that day or the very next day when I couldn't get it answer about the online book they wanted us to use.

I just drop out today. I was supposed to get almost 3000 dollars in my refund. Due to a failure grade I only 200 bucks then they add another class so they screw my financial aid up. Basically you have to pass to get your money. I recommend don't nobody go to this school.

Customer service and student support has drastically gone down the drain and I am concerned it may have something to do with the merge into University of Idaho I was warned about before. I satisfactorily completed my Bachelors in 2022 and was very much supported and the staff did a wonderful job making sure academics, finance, and myself remained on the same page. Well, 2023 I began my Masters and it’s been a horrible experience. Staff is far from supportive, doesn’t call you or email you when they schedule to do so and I am finding they are continually telling different stories and I do not trust their judgment or counsel.

This school is a scam. They act like they’re trying to work with you and all they wanna do is to get you enrolled and give runaround take forever to review your documents that you sent and nobody answers the phone. Stay away from the school.

I have 3 courses left until I am finished with my Associate's Degree.... But I am having a lot of concerns in regards to how UOP are disbursing our financial aid. Due to this change and them giving constant excuses and delays has cost me and my daughter to lose our home and vehicle because as a single mother, I accept those loans because I DEPEND ON THEM!! Hope someone can help get this straighten out or correctly taken care of. I lost almost everything, trying to prove my all to my child --- doesn't look good as a mom, nor feel good.

Why are they holding my loans and only giving them to me monthly? If the school has been awarded all the money then why are they holding the rest and only giving it out monthly. I don’t feel that this is right. If you have the money for my education expenses then it’s paid but what about what is left. That should come to me as the student but not each month like it’s a job giving me my loan money to use on educational purposes check by check. I know people from other schools who did not have but to go through this.

I have been attending University of Phoenix since February and all of sudden they’ve changed how they distribute our excess funds from my financial aid. They are breaking it down over the next 5 courses and I have almost 3,000 in excess funds but now all of sudden I only qualify for $85 for my first disbursement I got in July and $6 in October. I did not pass a course but a course is only 1,300 where is the other 1,600. This University screams fraud and I’m unenrolling.

I just graduated and was anticipating a refund of 2906.40 but because another credit was imported from another degree track they say they repackaged my financial aid and the second disbursement was not available to be sent to me and that was supposed to get me to the end of the month. All they can say was they are sorry but that does not get it. It was handle very poorly and all they do is wanna send you resources to places that’s not gonna help you direct.

I have been going to this school since the beginning of March. I am in my second semester. My award letter was accepted in April this year. Fast forward to July my second disbursement is due and they send out a letter saying that because of recent changes with FAFSA funds would be delayed. They claim it's because of changes to 24/25 policies. However, my loans were in my 23/24 package. I contact the school and they say the Pell grant is from 24/25 even though studentaid.gov says it's all from 23/24.

I would highly suggest you do not attend this school. They were dishonest with me during financial aid discussions. You will be saddled with debt for 20 years. They herd you in like cattle and quality of education is extremely poor. Not worth the paper the diploma is printed on.

If you are a veteran do not waste your GI bill at the school. They take forever to bill the VA and when they do finally bill the VA they then do not give you your excess funds for weeks. The VA paid this school on 7/12/24 And I am due my excess funds. It is now 7/22/24 And they are yet to be paid to me! They also take forever to tell the VA that you are enrolled in class So if you're using the post 9/11 GI Bill you are not given your stipend for books and supplies and time. I'm so happy that I graduated and I can go to another school. And when you call and contact somebody nobody knows what's going on. Everybody tells you a different answer. So far today I've been told two different answers on why I haven't received my excess funds. I was told that it would be 14 days and then I was told that they would release in 3 days. Both of those have come and went.

The University of Phoenix is withholding my son's Financial Aid and Grant and keep giving him different answers when he asks why. They say it is because they are updating their system but legally, they accepted both the financial aid and his grant money and telling him they cannot do anything till they update their system. This is illegal to withhold money they have already accepted and not paid on his classes. They gave these students no warning they were going to hold their money while they updated. They have illegal dates stating they have paid out this and that on their financial aid page which I got screenshots of. If this does not change soon and very soon, I will hire a lawyer.

This University is withholding federal funds. In the two years I have gone here, they delayed dispensing your federal aid, and even after being approved for all my loans, they still will not release money. The federal loan website even shows me that they have sent both my federal Pell Grants and the school has even already taken unsub AND sub loans in my name but has given me NOTHING for my 24/25 aid year. Even with a disbursement date on the dashboard, they only update the website to tell you it will be 45 days late for NO reason.

The MBA programs are solid but not the DBA programs. The MBA programs, I got solid support and solid professors and grades. Now, we run into Dr. Jennifer **, she is abusive, unethical and practical grader.

My name is Richard **, I was accepted into the University of Phoenix, went to class for one week, and then removed from class after one week because they claimed I needed more documentation. This is after my school had been paid for by fafsa, so they stole my aid money and didn't give me anything, and now this is going to be on my credit. This school is a ponzi scheme, they are a diploma mill. I hate I ever applied to this crap.

Spent 2 yrs of my life on a worthless degree that has no jobs available and it's what they talked me into computer networking. Interaction online was a joke. You had to make a simple reply like your ide make sense. Now I have over 30k in student debt and had to take all relevant classes to get my required credits. Their credits weren't fully recognized by a local college or other online colleges.

I wish I never made the mistake of signing back up for this school. I have 2 courses left and then good riddance. The last few months for me have been extremely hectic, with my two-year-old daughter’s brain tumor being removed. I did my discussion a day early, just to get no credit for it, not even partial, and being told “Oh well, next time do it when it’s due...” I guess I expressed my concern to the wrong person, because I guy I spoke to was super rude for an academic advisor, he didn’t advise much at all. Also, the comments about the school not stepping in on professors grading unfairly, they won’t. It’s up to the professor's discretion, even if they’re racist. My girlfriend had a racist professor that they did nothing about. They don’t care.

I partially blame myself for not doing more research before signing up to get my degree. I was desperate to finish and thought this was the best option. I finally graduated and just received my diploma in the mail today. I must admit, that its the most expensive piece of paper I have ever paid for, let alone, needed to make payments on. The upside is that it worked within my schedule. I work many hours and the freedom to go at my own pace, was nice. I did not get an education though, I only got a degree.

I started classes on December 12, 2023, on a Tuesday, and each week, ends every Monday, that is how each week is organized, and each class takes 5 weeks to accomplish and earn 3 credits. So far I have not one complaint about the UOPX as they have been nothing but supportive and I feel all the classes are scheduled great for someone that has a life outside of school. I love this school and I love this program. I feel all the negative reviews that I have read on this site could have been avoided. They would have paid more attention to how online college works. You can't compare them to traditional colleges because that's not fair to its set up totally differently. I hated Community College. That was a waste of time and money. I love This school and I would recommend it to anyone.

This misuse of funds and misuse of protocols for code of conduct and allowing outsiders to influence the way they push students out the school and professors that make comments like JUST DO IT! Also allowing representative to manipulate the students because they are upset about the students' refunds. They are extremely prejudice.

Avoid throwing away your money! I turned in every assignment on time, but the professor's grading was extremely rigorous. There were complaints from over half of the class, but the school took no action. Complaint tickets were initially opened but were promptly closed on account of insufficient information. I am looking into this further. If anyone can help me open a case against the school, please reach out to me.

I started this school 15 months ago and it started with my calling them asking if they had classes that would help me learn how to grow my home business. I was told yes, and I started classes in July of 22. It is now October of 23. I have had a total of 3 classes that has gone towards my so-called business degree. I have borrowed 40,000 in a little over of a year for these ** classes. When I called to complain about the whole 3 classes that goes towards what I'm supposed to be learning, compared to the 15 classes that I have already taken, I was told that over the next 4 years, I need to take 69 ** classes to the whole 19 classes I need for the business degree plus the media certificate I need. This has been an epic waste of time and an even bigger waste of money! I could have gone to YSU and spent half this for a full 2 years! Avoid this school at all costs! Trust me in the end, it will cost you.

I registered with UOP and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration/Healthcare Administration. I was told they offered job placement assistance. After graduation I started applying at all the local hospitals in the Kansas City Mo area and my local town as well. After 6 months of not getting anywhere I called UOP job placement services and was told that because I didn't live in Arizona or anywhere that they had campuses I did not qualify for their assistance. I contacted the Department of Education and put all my student loans in deferment which is where they still are because I can't afford them. My student debt is over $125,000 that's double what my mortgage is.

On-line graduate classes at the UOP were both expensive and difficult. The group assignments were nearly impossible to complete because students were located in all parts of America, and it was nearly impossible to get everyone on the same page at the same time. It was also extremely difficult to get to talk to my professor in a one-on-one discussion. I also had difficulty obtaining the on-line textbook that I purchased for one of the classes that I took, thereby making it impossible to complete my assignments. I would never recommend the UOP to anyone, nor would I ever take another UOP class!

I wanted to obtain my CLAD credential. I enrolled into University of Phoenix. I put a down payment on my classes and NEVER heard from them!!! When I contacted Cami the “representative” she acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about. In the meantime I got a full scholarship to take the SAME classes at a much better university!!! Do NOT go to this “money pit!”

When I registered for the University I was told that there was internships offered and job placement. I could have went to another school however the counselor was convincing. I graduated in 2016 and still haven't found a job in the Business field that is not requiring on the job experience. Now I have an unnecessary student loan bill for choosing a school that lied to me so I could have enrolled. I loved the online classes and working in a group. However, again I am at a financial loss and the student loan forgiveness programs want you to pay thousands before they would assist and that is not guaranteed that more than half the bill will be taken care of.

I enrolled for the nursing program and was told by the enrollment counselor that there were not any accreditation issues. This was a lie and found out later on in the program. There were some faculty there to help you but somehow they slowly began to dissipate. The replacement staff along with the director was toxic. The school along with the director held myself back from taking my boards even though my grades were good and finished all my requirements. The staff along with their 3rd party "vendor" were railroading me and hindering my success. It was definitely personal and had nothing to do with my performance and till this day I do not know the reasons that it was done.

I attended UOPHX as an undergraduate student in a classroom setting and later attended UOPHX as a graduate student on-line. The classes were very challenging and I wanted to give up. I had to work hard and do a lot of research and reading. UOPHX taught me so much and made me stand out at work when I put my degree to work. I learned so much and was prepared for today's world. UOPHX is very advanced in developing their curriculum and is aware of things that are needed in the world today. When it comes to technology and being a part of today's administration role UOPHX is the place to go. In order to get a good education you have to put your work in. You are always going to get out of what you put in something in whatever you do. There is good and bad in everything you do.

I am just here to give my opinion on being enrolled at UOPHX. It is very different from what I am used to. I am a person who loves in person teaching. Being independent is usually rough for me cos my it’s hard for me to stay on task. But this was a game changer. I was worried about being overwhelmed with school work plus my regular job. What made me choose this route of schooling was the convenience of doing the work at my own free time rather than fit my life and schedule around having to drive to a school and fit all that in a schedule and pay for parking and all. Ugh headache. I only take 1 class every 5 weeks so I am focused on doing the work for that class only. This was a HUGE bonus for me.

I am an former teacher with 16 years under my belt. I hold a Bachelor's in Education and graduated 4.0 with all the honors that come with it. I entered UOP Master program in 2008 in hopes of earning my degree. All my work was 3.75 - 4.0 until the teaching practicum. They deliberately failed me with a grade of 3.25. Now They could not fail me lower because I was an active teacher. So please avoid this college. They are EVIL as HELL and only want your money. I have been trying since 2000 to transfer the 35 units of that 41 unit program into another degree just to graduate and get on with my life. UOP said it won't do it unless I re-enroll and start all over. Does this sound like a College you would want to attend? So, I wasted $14,000 and 2 years here for nothing.

Twenty weeks ago, I was told that I would not have to pay anything to complete my degree. They said Pell and my loan would cover everything. I started my last class 4 weeks ago. The finance department, said that I have a balance of $745. I paid $630 of that, now I'm on my last week and now I owe $397. They adjust their billing to line their own pockets. Do your research before you sign your life away. I refuse to pay them $397. I know it sounds petty and dumb, but right is right and wrong is wrong. They are preying on innocent students who want more out of life. They only care about numbers. Stay away. Once you sign those loan papers, your livelihood is at stake.

20 years ago I pursued a lifelong dream of earning a master's degree and becoming an educator at the college of education at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). I had just finished my bachelor's degree in Sociology and was still actively taking classes in the UCCS philosophy school because of my drive for knowledge and to better myself. I initially went into the Masters program at UCCS for sociology, but decided very quickly that I wanted to actually teach future generations - not just study about it and write critiques and social essays about it to small groups of academics. I Switched graduate majors and entered the school of education.

University of Phoenix is the best college I have ever attended. People who say this university is easy, was not telling the truth. The negative review are lies. I am a straight A's student with a high G.P.A and I must say the courses at the university are intense. You really got to put in the work, If you don't, you will fail. All the bashing and negative feedback towards U.O.P once lead me to believe it was true, and at first gave me a negative reaction, until I experience it for myself. U.O.P is an overall good college and would definitely suggest this college to anyone who is ambitious, motivated and college ready.

I am currently an online student at UOP. The option to do online school has helped balance my work life, mom life, church life, and school life. I honestly think if I didn't have the option to do online school, I probably wouldn't have pursue getting my degree. What I like about the program is how it is outlined, you do one class at a time instead of 3 or 4 classes through a course of a semester or quarter. The 5 week course allows me to concentrate on one subject at a time instead of 3 or 4. Although the course is accelerated through 5 weeks, I'm able to put my attention to 1 course at a time.

I will be graduating with my B.S. in Public Administration next March and have had a great journey with UoP so far! The professors are all very knowledgeable in their fields, are very supportive, and the online platform works well for me (being that I have a full-time job and no time to make it to a brick and mortar college campus.) I have absolutely no complaints about the program, the online platform, or anything in general related to my experience at UoP. It has been an incredible experience! I have learned so much and have had to work hard to keep up my GPA, just as I would at any other school. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to advance in their career.

Hi All,

I attended classes at the Pine Island and Cypress Creek locations and Graduated in 2006. I am still waiting for them to send me my Diploma. According to their customer service department, I did not do the exit interview. They have no record of it. I fulfilled all the requirements, but despite this I have to pay for copies of my transcript just to prove that I even attended this institution. The last customer service rep told me I would need to travel to their head office to get the matter resolved. This means travelling from Florida to Phoenix Arizona. I earned 123 credits, received a piece of paper during the graduation ceremony. Finished my final class. Had the exit interview. Still no diploma. Student **

I am really surprised at the bad rap these guys have gotten over the years. As someone who attended a few different schools, I can assure you, you get no lesser of an education here than anywhere else. People have this weird perception of a stigma against online education or something its really bizarre. The school is accredited and meets the standards that are set. I don't know why they think it's any different than a school you actually physically attend. I've done both. I didn't notice any difference other than UoP was a lot more convenient to my work schedule. Honestly, I think it's a just some kind of bias.

As a military spouse, I never had anyone to try to force me to take a course with expectations of being hired after graduation. I have a Master's in Health Administration. You get what you put into your classes.

I am about 2.5 years into my 4 year degree. I loved the first 2 years and was breezing through my classes and had no doubt I was going to finish my degree with a high GPA. Recently the format for online classes has changed. Every course now has team assignments where you are thrown in with a random group of people from all over the country who also have jobs, families, and are in different time zones. This has been the worst experience for me. Online courses are not the right format for this learning style and I would say most people who choose online courses do so because they need to be able to work on their own time around their work and family schedules.

I was reading the online review early this evening on this site. I was discouraged by some of what I was reading. What al lot of folks fail to understand is if you are a student, seeking employment for a specific job. You need to do some homework. I am currently a UOPX student, working on a MA in education. I called my home state DOE to ensure the degree I was seeking leads to obtaining a teaching license in the state. I spoke with teachers I know and they said I am good to go. The issue with with the reviews mostly are people just not doing their due diligence and checking and ensuring the degree is a match for the career they are pursuing. Furthermore, if you go to school, you have to pay. If you don't most likely you are noting going to like the person that calls you to let you know you owe money. That doesn't mean a school is a bad school because they expect people to pay their bills.

I am a retired Army soldier and I attended UOP and received both my Bachelor's (2011) degree masters degrees (2014). I attend class for both degrees in the class room because I wanted a more personal experience. I love the interaction among my classmates. UOP is not like any other college programs I've attended. The lectures at UOP became open discussions among all of us. Those discussions were extremely refreshing, they made learning truly easy to understand and capture. The program formats and materials made it connectable, relate-able to career situations. The small group settings was awesome, by the end of the program my teammates felt like family, we shared a lot of great times in and out of the class room.

I took a python class at UOP and now have written three D apps from the knowledge gained from my software development classes at UOP. I will say that I had to dedicate and take the initiative to read and do every assignment and pay attention to every detail. The thing about online schools is that it's up to the person to truly apply themselves. That is while the student is in school and after they graduate. I have read a lot of people saying businesses don't take their education at UOP serious, but it is your job to make them take you serious. Keep calling apply yourself and don't give up. You worked hard for that degree and when they finally give you a chance prove them that they are wrong. I finish school in June and have a job in IT lined up. UOP reports 57% job success after graduation. I hear all kinds of stories from everyone that finishes school saying they can't find a job in their field for this or that excuse but it's just that an excuse!

Firstly, classes through the online program at UOP are kind of a complete joke. I did not learn a single thing. It all felt like busywork. Secondly, they are incredibly expensive for what they are offering. I withdrew from the university during the first week of a course (at the start of the week, way before it ended) and they charged me nearly $400 for the class - that I didn't even start. It's incredibly frustrating and they will not waive that. They do offer a payment plan if that's what you're looking for.

I wanted to complete my education and as I have 3 kids and was working at the time was a good idea for me. So I ended my BBA and MBA at University of Phoenix with a 3.62 GPA. However it is like I didn't nothing. To look for a better job as soon as they see University of Phoenix in my resume that put the sign "idiot" in my forehead....Seven years ago I graduated and my diploma is good as a toilet paper. Don't waste your money here please. I have a loan that I can't pay because I can't find a job with their studies reference.

This is an amazing university with incredible programs, curricula, and excellent support from the staff and faculty. I complete my masters in 2015 and will culminate my doctoral studies in 6 months. Tuition is as much as in any other university. I compared this university with my state universities and I had to stay with Phoenix. State universities can't compete with UoP programs and excellent, well structured learning platform.

The degree is only good if you have years of experience in your filed and just need a piece of paper. The degree did help me because I had years of experience in my field and most companies in my field require a degree. Since I had years of experience they did not care where the degree came from as long as I had one to meet company policy. If you plan to go into a new field and don’t have years of experience in it, you will not get hired. Companies won’t take your degree seriously. Don’t get an accounting degree and expect to become an accountant or major in IT and get a job in that field unless of course you have years of experience at it and have a reputation in the field.

I am not finishing my degree with the UoP as I am strongly opposed to the "group projects". I have only had two of them and switching to another school. This university is not viewed favorably by other universities or reputable companies and now after experiencing the Instructor at the UoP, I can understand why. One of my coworkers received a Bachelor's Degree through University of Phoenix. She then attempted to go to a different, more prestigious university for a Master's Degree, and they would not accept her Bachelor's from UoP.

I have been attending for 4 years. I am 2 months away from graduating with my Bachelor's. I can tell you right now, attending UOP was the worst decision I have ever made. I have felt that way from the beginning. I tried another school for a year but it wasn't much better. In the beginning, I was lied to by my entrance counselor. When I started it was ok for the first few classes. As things got more complicated, I realized that the instructors are really just there to start the class and grade work and I am sure that most of the time they don't even review it. The advisers are never available. The financial department is never available and the learning teams that they make you do are the biggest joke ever. There are better online colleges out there. Please go to one of those.

UofP offers online course run by facilitators that essential post university-provided curriculum into its course software. If you are expecting anything similar to an instructor or professor, think again. You will be in charge of your learning experience with very little, if any, instructional value added by the class facilitator. The facilitator's primary purpose seems to be to 1) paste material into the course-room and 2) grade assignments. And don't expect much, if any, non-format related feedback on your graded papers.

I registered to be a student at the University of Phoenix in December of 2018. I was able to begin classes in January 2019. After a few 5 week courses it is now July of 2019. I decided this is not for me. The classes are supposed to be designed for people that work and want to further their education and obtain a degree. I have 20 previous credits that I carried over from another school.

I went to UoP for my undergrad. I was looking into a certification so I went back to UoP. The Admissions Counselor (salesperson) gave me the cost for the classes and what financial aid would cover. I moved forward, took 1 class and had to drop due to personal issues. I paid the balance due and was told by Financial Aid I had a zero balance. Fast forward eight weeks and I get a bill for almost $2K. Called UoP and was told my financial aid was sent back to the lender mid February and I was responsible for the balance. Without notice, no letter, no calls, they sent my account to collections. The harassing phone calls went on for weeks while UoP reviewed my account. After their review, I still owed the money and it isn't possible to get the money back from the lender.

They are an absolutely SCAM. They sent me a bill in 2018 for $54 almost a year after I had graduated. I called and inquired what it was, they said it was sent in error and they would take care of it. Fast forward to December 2018 and the same thing happens. A finance manager assures me IN WRITING that it was resolved for the final time and will not happen again.

Twice I've taken a class with the University of Phoenix and been dropped after completing three weeks of work and receiving an A - full credit on the assignments I turned in. Why? Because I did my work, including responding to classmates on the discussion board, early. I turned in work on a Monday instead of Tuesday, which is strangely the beginning of the University of Phoenix week. This cost me almost a $1000. The administration was very friendly, but did nothing to help me. They are a profit-making industry and do not care about education or their students at all. I will never work with them again.

I would not recommend this school to anyone. They were very rude to me. They made me feel very uncomfortable and I would say this is the worst online school. They seriously need to shut down. The whole thing was just weird. The whole thing was uncomfortable and a difficult process. I would not recommend this school to anyone because it is just a big waste of time.

I’m 53 still paying for student loans from 2005 so this College Choice has been the one decision I regret. It was one of the only online choices back then so I was able to work, raise children and obtain my Bachelor's degree. It was difficult and took many sacrifices, but I did it. The regret is because unfortunately they had a bad reputation of not being a “real college” - many employers viewed my application the same as someone without a degree so here I am at 53, paying back the ridiculous amount they charged for a degree that only caused me financial hardship. I normally don’t leave negative reviews, but this was the worst choice I made in life and unfortunately am reminded of it year after year as I pay for degree others didn’t value.

I attended University of Phoenix 100% online for exactly a year and the experience was incredibly positive. A few months ago, I decided to move from online to on campus because the G.I. Bill pays considerably more for attending in person (on campus), opposed to only attending online. I find that attending in person doesn't really make quality use of the time you spend there (the 3.5 hours you spend there), 3 out of 4 of my campus instructors so far prefer to sort of just have "campfire discussions" for the whole class, and then you still have to do all of the actual work online (unless you are doing a class presentation). My consistent 4.0 grades have slipped considerably since transferring to the on-campus environment.
