University Of Phoenix Online - Anyone Ever Furthered Their Education With Them?

I considered it but found it to be VERY expensive! I enrolled in my local community colleges online. They were accredited so I could transfer the credits to the big state university if I wanted to continue there. Look up your local or state community college and you'll find you can save a lot of money and get great quality education!

I don't think I can use the degree or diploma here to get a job so I never go with u of p I did take some diploma from an online college and never got a job from it either if I ever gonna take online education it will be something that is accepted here or else it will be waste of money

I thought about attending this university, but I was never convinced that they were trustworthy. Check them out at http://www.bbb.org

Both my son and his wife and my daughter got their degrees online...but not from the University of Phoenix....my son from concordia college and my daughter in law from South West State.....they still had to ocassionally be interactive with their classmates but that only made them new friends! If you can do it.....go for it!

I agree with dragon. Look into your local colleges first. When I went to college (you know, back when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth), I went to Towson University (Maryland) where the credits were $25.00 each for those who lived there, and $65 for outsiders. Local colleges, whether 4-year or community colleges, are MUCH cheaper where you live. Furthering your education is NEVER a bad thing, even if you don't go to college but learn on your own. I learned website design on my own. I bought one book and borrowed a few from the local library. All it cost me was that one book. Of course, I don't have a degree in Website Design, but now I have the experience and sometimes that's worth more than a degree. I've only heard good things about University of Phoenix, though, so I think you'll do just fine there, if that's what you choose. But, financially speaking, you'll do better by looking at your local community college first. Good luck to you!

One of my sister-in-laws just graduated from the University of Phoenix. She did most of her classes on line. I would never would do classes on line! I have enough trouble with computers as it is! Taking classes on line would be disaster for me!

I have heard it is a great school to get further education. My sister in law took it for awhile but then her son got sick and she just quit. But, I am sure your aunt is right in suggesting it to you. It is a great school from what I heard and seen online and on television.

I have not done any college online yet but I am planning on attending online in the next 6 months. I checked out Phoenix and I think they have some really great programs. I was talking to a friend last night and she is transferring from another online college to UOP. I think it would be a great step for you and if you feel good about it I say go for it! Take care and happy mylotting to you.
