I have attended UoP for almost 7 years now. I loved it and completed all the courses. It's when I got to the part where I wanted to intern at a school. The staff that were set to "help" me couldn't even get my name right. I got several confusing emails addressed to the wrong person. They gave instructions to complete papers and requirements. I figured no biggie, well then they told me I could not turn certain papers in without approval, then back tracked when I got mad because nothing was apporved... Read More and claimed they never said that. Its in email... kind of hard to deny it when it's in writting. I called many times and they continued to ask for papers I had already submitted, then said it was because they didn't have my file in front of them. I can't believe I it was great and then all of a sudden I'm disregarded and treated like a number. There is no one to call or help me and I've invested too much time to turn back. I am now possibly unemployed because I could not get a straight answer. Whatever you do don't waste your money here. You will pay way too much, for someone that should at least take the time to know the name of the person they are calling.

I have not had any problems with UoP. I am a veteran, and I have not had any issues with the VA GI Bill payouts or anything like that. My financial/veterans advisors was really helpful when I was registering, and she called me back and called me a lot to stay on the ball to my surprise. They have tried to find me scholarships, even in Master's level, which is really going above and beyond. My academic advisors have been helpful, and they stay in contact and go over the goals/milestones of my degree... Read More program. The course work is straight and to the point, and relevant to my field. You can get stuck with bad group members and do a lot of the work yourself, but it goes quick. The instructors have all seemed fine, and I am 3/4 through the course work of my program. I think if someone has the study habits, dedication, and willingness, then online schools are great. I think you get out what you put in, and the people who are complaining about grades and financial aide probably made their own mistakes. Its a good school, but if you s**** around it will give you enough rope to choke yourself like any other college.

I take classes all online through the University of Phoenix online program. I live in Anchorage, Alaska and work as a substitute teacher full time in an RTI setting classroom. I am very happy with my University and the flexibility it offers. I sign onto classes whenever I can and assignments are due on Monday of every week. I am required to do field experience observation hours which prepares me for having my own classroom upon graduation. I take one class at a time which lasts six weeks. This is... Read More my favorite part of my program because I am not bombarded with several classes and can focus my attention and learning into one class at a time. I would definitely recommend this University to anyone who wants to further their education.

Online programs are extremely flexible, and being a single parent, this was the only way that I could have continued my education. On the other hand, my degree program requires hands-on experience in order to gain true perspective and experience and this is hard with online school. Regardless, I am grateful that I have taken this step toward financial independence for both myself and my daughter, and I am proud of my accomplishments. I look forward to continually being a lifelong learner and am anxious... Read More to see what is next for me. Thank you University of Phoenix.

I believe that my graduate program has been a great experience. After speaking with others about their experience with other programs, I find that my program satisfies all the needs for someone graduating in the education field. The program is streamlined to transition you from student to professional. I have gotten compliments about my skill level and work ethic from other teachers when I come into their classroom. I owe that to the University of Phoenix. They have prepared me to take on a job in... Read More the real world. I know that I am ready to educate today's youth. Our program is not perfect, but it's well structured from beginning to end. I recommend the University of Phoenix to anyone wanting to go to school and have a full time job. With the University of Phoenix you can have it all.

The online program has allowed me to continue working and care for my adult disabled son as well as attend classes. The graduate online program has allowed me to fulfill a goal and dream even as an older student, over 50. The online program is fantastic, I have a 3.89 GPA going into student teaching, while being able to continue to work full time. The online program has allowed me to fulfill a dream for my late husband for me to complete my teaching credential, not to mention that my deceased parents... Read More also wanted to see me fulfill my childhood dream of teaching. My biggest complaint with the graduate program at this university is that the advisers/counselors have changed often, after being assured that I would not experience changes once I enrolled. These changes also seemed to include new requirements for completing the program. The other problem has been in the university changing the outside test requirements during the program of study. Some of them state specific that are not required for the state that I live in. I have had to take and pass four different tests, all costing on average &140.00 per test. That does not include lost wages to take the day off for testing.
