University of Phoenix does not operate that way.

it's still a half-@ss school for those who won't take the effort to attend a real institution

Have you taken classes there? The classes at UOP i've taken in the past have been much harder than the real institution i've attended.

Perhaps your real institution isn't up to par either

😕

You didn't answer my questions. So you're ignorant. If you have no idea the effort required to do the work, how can you claim it is half assed? So a state school isn't up to par? LMAO. Ok pal.

How do you know? Did you go there?

I am sick of all the school bashing around here. If you didn't got to Standford or Yale, your school sucks...

I went to DeVry and everyone on here seems to think it is a high school level community college. Just because Phoenix has an online program, that doesn't mean it is a bad school.

I'd say, look around at "real" schools around the area and see if they have an online program, or at least some classes that are available online... if not, go for the Phoenix one.

Even though it is a real degree, some managers might look down on it (same as DeVry or ITT). It just depends on the manager that is interviewing you.

Some state schools are pretty crappy. Where did you go?

You're being pretentious, and you really don't have to. I don't mean to demean anyone - I'm just giving you accurate advice about your education. Frankly, you can get a better education from a real school, and seriously, most employers don't take Devry or UoP degrees seriously.

I really don't care where you go to school, but if you want to get a good job, don't go to UoP.

That isn't true. If you slam SCSU, where i received my Bachelor's degree, then you do care and are attempting to demean me. You know nothing about the school yet you continue to slam it? I can see where people think that Ivy league students are narcissistic and self centered.

Same goes for everyone else in this thread that doesn't know a thing about the school in question.

Because you read a bunch of websites? There are four reviews on that rating site you linked, and two were 5 stars...the other two were 1. Not everyone has a good experience, and many try to blame others for their misgivings and laziness.

Even if you get a diploma from UOP, wouldn't it might raise a few eyebrows from employers. Education is mostly then same whether you get it at UW for 10,000 a year or at Duke for 40,000 but the name on the diploma makes some difference in the end.

Another glowing review of UoP

I don't think education is the same at all places. I have a friend whose school had some undergrad-level courses that were graduate-level at a big public school the next state over.

Remember, it is a 'For Profit' school.

Which means their 'academic counselors' are actually salespeople, trying to get you to sign up for as many classes as they can, as a commission is paid to them.

I think it also depends on what type of networking the university can provide. If the school has no close ties with industry, it'll still be very hard to get your resume onto the employer's desk.

From what I have heard about some of these that they are not actually accredited or acknowledged by other universities. This doesn't really mean much unless you ever plan to get your doctorate.

Yes, it means a lot. If you take classes at an unaccredited university you can't transfer them to other schools, so if you took a full Bachelors program at an unaccredited school, you won't be able to take a masters program at an accredited school.

UOP is accredited Schools such as University of Minnesota and Purdue are accredited by the same body.

Since MBA is brought up, you must remember b-schools are considered on equal standing if they are AACSB accredited. Some 400+ schools in the US are. UOP is not. If you plan to pursue doctoral studies at a later time, your masters business degree is worthless if it wasn't earned at an AACSB accredited school. In addition, if you have any plan to teach in the future, even something like a nightclass at a community college, then your b-school degree must also be AACSB accredited or you will never be hired.

Whether UoP gives you a good education or not doesnt much matter in actuality. In the real world reputation and opinions matter more. If managers are going to look down upon your degree then it isn't worth much. If your job is paying, go to a 'real' school - that is to say a campus - and don't take the chance of getting a degree that may be looked down up - rightly or wrongly.
