University of Phoenix 1

Is the University of Phoenix worth it? Is it a "real" education?

I can't speak for anyone else but the UOPHX worked for me. I'd been working it IT for over 15 years. Went to community colleges and the like during that time. Finished my last 2 years of school with Phoenix. My degree carries the same weight as one from many major universities. Of course, I got a pretty good job now and most likely would have got it without the degree. Having done brick and mortar as well as online. Either way will be what you make of it.

@nellaad I'm glad to hear it worked out for you. It seems to me that since U of P has instructors who actually have jobs in what they teach, it would be better for some subjects. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

@ttiiy Not all public colleges. None in my area have online degree programs and have standards for admission. For those who can't afford them, community college is a good option and then transferring to the 4 year institution is best.

@ttiiyy U mad bro? Looks like I struck a nerve, let's face it. Your "University" of Phoenix degree is a waste of time and money and you people all know it.

@MarathonVeteran I highly doubt that you have a good college degree. You're probably some kind of loser that U of P will not take (or maybe get kicked out by U of P because you're too dumb to maintain good grades there). I have looked at the videos made by those losers that trash U of P. They're LOSERS that can't even survive at community colleges.

@MarathonVeteran Here's another example. To enter their master programs, you must have a bachelor's degree (and meet the GPA requirement). For some master programs, you will even need to provide records of work experience. At Coastline Community College, one of its Deans Mr. Vinicio Lopez has a Masters Degree in Education from the University of Phoenix. What do you say about that, you dumbass?

@MarathonVeteran There aren't even academic requirements to get in the school? You're clearly a MORON that just shattered your own credibility. To enter U of P's RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program, you must have earned an associate's degree in nursing from a regionally or nationally accredited institution or diploma in nursing from a hospital school of nursing. You dumbass!

@baritonebynight Unfortunately, everything that you said can be directly applied to PUBLIC colleges as well. University of Illinois system offers some online degree programs, and they have been getting some horrible complaints made by not only the academic community but also the students. There's no real teaching. They are simply text based. So the students feel ripped off because there're no lectures. The professors are pissed because they think online degrees're cheap.

@nellaad You did what you had to do to secure a job, so there should be no regrets. U of P is not exactly a fraud school (like some other for-profit colleges). Their school of nursing is properly accredited. I happen to know a Dean at Coastline Community College who finished his education degree at U of P. He makes good money.

@MarathonVeteran If you can't follow along, you'll only be written off as a troll.
