How do students of the University of Phoenix online program like the school?

My friend took some online classes from UOP, and said that they were quite hard. I'm not sure if they're accredited or not.

Online PhDs? Unless it's in computer science from Carnegie Mellon, I wouldn't bother. But online Master's? There are some from some reputable universities (U Phoenix NOT being one of them), most usually in business or computers. So, what do you hope to major in?\n\nSome examples of reputable schools that offer some Master's degrees online include:\n\nNYU\nUMass Amherst\nRensselaer Polytechnic Institute\nCarnegie Mellon\nDuke University\nUniversity of Indiana\nUniversity of Maryland\nThe New School for Social Research

My daughter is in Early Childhood/ Special Education and she is taking on line courses from Genesee Community College. Also the Univ. of Arizona has online courses.

Many universities offer MBA programs now, including "executive MBAs" that accelerate the rate of the learning so you can continue to work. (You go on nights and weekends and online.) If you go the online route, make SURE the program is nationally accredited. For examine, the University of Phoenix's online program is nationally accredited by North Central but many others are not.

Is it a good school?  Let's put it this way -- US News & World Reports doesn't even bothering ranking it.\n\nIt is not selective.  And it awards lots of online degrees, which employers will not take seriously.

For Online Universities University of Phoenix, http://uoponline.lnfo.org/&kid=GOG0007278343 has an online Masters program in Information Technology and also Norwich University, http://www.graduate.norwich.edu/ has a Masters program in Information Assurance (Security). These are the two Universities that I am currently considering.

Yeah, some of them are really very good.  The trick to understanding which ones are versus which ones are not, is to research to see if their accreditation credentials are legitimate insofar as the Federal Board of Education (or whatever the name of that Board is called?) is concerned.  Capella University is one of them that is supposed to be good, Walden University is another.  These are two I have research myself, and am satisfied with not only their credentials but their philosophy of education online.  There are others like that, and they are all expensive.  I am researching them now for a Phd. in Education to become a teacher educator.  I already have 100000 dollars in loans for my Master's degrees so I will need more grant or scholarship money to do this.  \n\nRemember, too, that many campus colleges and universities are coming online for higher education beyond the more standard Masters programs.  And, these, you would be familiar with.  However, you must ask them about their philosophy of online education, and dig deep into those attitudes.  If their representatives want to be brief, then you know this is not a good one.  They should have developed an understandable, concrete set of concepts that found their thinking about the nature of both classroom learning and online learning, and they should be able to distinguish between the two.  I have both taught and taken both types of classes in English (no small feat either way), and I have found there are definite advantages to online teaching that can produce deep learning, life learning where that might not have happened to the same person in a classroom because of the particular type of learner that student is.  (did that make sense?)  \n\nAnd, let me add here, that I would never recommend University of Phoenix even though they have the right pieces of paper.  They definitely do not have the right educational philosophies that produce substantive learning.  For them, it boils down to their belief that students don't want to learn anything beyond what is required for a piece of paper that gets them a raise and/or a promotion.  There is nothing wrong with a student's focusing on that while getting a degree in whatever subject, but it is definitely wrong for a professional educator to have this attitude because it will put limits on the nature of the curriculum in such a way that a key goes missing in the educational process that opens the door to having passion for your subject matter which, in turn, is the dynamic that compels deep learning, life learning.  And, we all know that life learning is what makes a good employee because it makes a good human being.  Textbook learning will not do this for and with a student.  I tell my students at the start of each semester that I can teach them nothing, but they can learn from me.  And, when I am saying this, I am pointing to my passion about teaching what I am teaching them.  At the end of each semester one and even two come to me on the last day of class and refer to my statement, saying they did not understand what I meant when I said that, but after a few weeks, when they had connected with the broader principles that my daily teaching was pointing at, they suddenly had "gotten it".  Of course, I already have usually been aware of those two students because I have already seen the light bulbs going off in their heads during classroom.  Just the other day, a really young student suddenly laughed out loud, saying "That's really cool!"  That was a light bulb exploding in front of his intellectual and spiritual eyes about what I had just spent an hour and a half building to conclusion.  And, that is what I mean when I say that leaving out of the educational formula the passion for what I teach will ruin teaching through standardization.  With your question I am pointing to what is referred to as the diploma mills, and there are too many of them out there.  So, be careful.

Do a search in yahoo that says "BA from University of Phoenix" .  What you will get is a listing of people who list UOP as one of their degrees.  You can see what type of job they are doing. If this impresses you, then I would say attend.  \n\nAnother thing to check is what type of acceptance it has in the area you live.  Where I live, it is well accepted because it has a brick an mortar presence here.  I just received an MBA from UOP and I am very happy I did it.  I hope this helps.

I have to disagree with some of the preceding comments.  I took courses online from UoP until I could no longer afford them, and then I transferred to a public university (from which I am graduating in 9 days).  The UoP curriculum for my area of study was much better than that of the public university.  Of course, that experience may be due to the major itself (Information Technology).  I can't swear to what other programs are like.  So, like everything else, your mileage may vary.

Hello Tiffany,\n\nI had my doubts about going but once I completed my AA I felt more confident about the online programs... It is a lot harder than a campus because you have to go at your on pace but stay focus and you will go far!\n\nJAM
