Has anyone dealt with University of Pheonix online?

I am finishing two degrees there. Bachelors in Business Management and Marketing. I am doing their flex-net program where there is an on-grounds class in the first and last week of each course. I am in Wisconsin. I say this because I have heard the quality from state to state is a bit different at times. Overall I am satisfied with the coursework and the school. \n\nOne will take from theses classes as much as they put into them. By no means are the majority of classes easy or is this a diploma mill. Even Harvard is selling on line courses now. UoP is the largest accredited on line school in the world right now. I am friends with a couple of my professors who also teach at other colleges and they tell me the requirements are higher and stricter than the other on-ground colleges they teach for. \n\nAs far as getting a job after wards I know other students whom have gotten excellent jobs with a UoP diploma. They do have a reputation for being a good school. You just need to stay on top of things and if there is a problem take care of it immediately. They will work very hard to satisfy the situation.

Utterly useless.\n\nKennedy-Western is not even accredited.\n\nMoreover, even though some employers in business fields are beginning to accept online degrees, most still do not.  You can find surveys and interviews on this topic in almost any current business magazine.\n\nA Ph.D. online, in any field whatsoever, is absolutely unthinkable.  Doctoral study requires one-on-one mentoring by a reputable scholar with demonstrable expertise in a field.  No reputable scholar -- NOT ONE -- would attempt to mentor doctoral students online.

Yes I have taken on line courses. It was set up where they recorded the classes and then you could view them online. There were a lot of good things about being online. Like I didn't have to make the 2 hour round trip drive to the school. I could watch lecture in my pj's. I could view lecture any time of day or night and as many times as I wanted. This is set up differently than most online courses though. Most courses require online discussion of material instead of a lecture. You do a lot of messaging to classmates and such. So you have to be self disciplined to make yourself do the studying. I would take more online courses. I really liked it. Hope this helps you.

I provided a Google search for "online universities" - my advice is to visit the sites of these schools and contact them by email *and* by phone to make sure you're speaking with someone. They should be able to help you if they want your money.\n\nGood luck!

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.

try looking for contact numbers of your classmates on that suject or maybe try contacting your professor and ask him if you can hae anoter copy sent to you through mail or e-mail... you just hae to burden the fees... it's possible i think, you can give it a try right?

Have you tried contacting the school directly? I can't think of any other way to get that information.

I have a neighbor doing that right now through Un. of Phoenix.  First, she's paying over $200 per credit which is no cheaper than the local community college's online program, so I think she made a mistake.  What I read online is that the CEO has just resigned in March I believe it was.  I've also read on boards that there is question on the "certification" of the professors involved, not all check content regularly, and some may have faked their credentials and the university never really checked.  I've also read that they grade too fairly passing students who should otherwise be failing.\n\nAnother issue I've heard is that many businesses are not considering degrees through these online degree programs as legit because of the questions of passing failing students and teachers without credentials.\n\nI'd check local community colleges first.

You did the right thing by not giving them more information. The bank info is probably what they were "phishing" for. I got something similar with what was supposed to be an online degree program, but then I got a high-pressure call where someone tried to get me to apply for financial aid. It sounded like they were trying to scam money either from me or the financial aid program, so I backed out. They probably can't do anything with just your signature and address, but check with local law enforcement - they can likely direct you to an office or service to report the incident.

I think these are nothing more than marketing strategies (scams) to get  your info from you, in order to send it to on-line degree programs. They will be incredibly tenacious about calling you at all hours of the day and night. Furthermore, a lot of on-line programs hire "professors" who are nothing more than a conduit through which you submit your work; they have no committment to you, the school, or teaching. Regis University is an excellent example, I took a prelim MBA course from them (Tony Pizur was the prof), seldom got any work back, no basis for grades in terms of feedback on multiple required written assignments. I complained to the school, never got a response, never heard from them. \n\nIn sum, be very careful with these programs in all regards, it's about the "dollars".

Yes. I actually am attending an online program.  The way you can tell if it is credible is if the school offers pell grants.  Pell grants are only offered to students in a credible college.  www.axiacollegeonline.com/  This is the school I attend, and they are associated with University of Phoenix.  The support there is great.
