University of Phoenix
- Thread starter Voter2002
- Start date
I had looked at them several years ago. They are very, very expen$ive. There are much better choices out there.
$1360 per 3 credit hour class!!!!
What appealed to me was that each class was only 5 weeks (minimum 4 nights a week) long and you can start anytime (don't have to wait for the "next" semester).
My job offers tuition reimbursment at 100%, so the cost doesn't faze me...anyone taken their classes?

I tuk clsses thar- an luk wat hapnd...
I'm currently pursuing my Master's in IT at AIU. It's a 10 month program with less emphasis on "group" projects and more flexible attendance requirements. So far it has been fine.
When I was checking them out I found that they are a preferred educator for Lockheed Martin (who is about to lay me off, possibly, but that's another thread) and I also found out that they are as well accredited as Duke.
I tried U of P once, but dropped it after just one course because it was taking up too much time in the evenings, and I have to be a Daddy while these little girls are young. That's one thing that can't be put off.

I disagree about their being accredited. I needed some additional credits for my job and thought an online class would be the best approach timewise. That's when I discovered the majority of online schools are not accepted. I believe the University of Phoenix was also warned by FCC about misleading ads.
Sure looks like they are accredited to mewaupaca said:
But I agree that there are a lot of on-line programs that are NOT accredited. I personally would look at UMUC. I know they have completely on-line degree programs now, are fully accredited, and are highly rated.

I've taken classes with UoP and UMUC- and UMUC is a better program (IMO)- and classes usually cost less if you are a MD resident (in-state tuition.)jazz lady said:I personally would look at UMUC. I know they have completely on-line degree programs now, are fully accredited, and are highly rated.

I took some classes here online and some at the campus for my degree. I enjoyed the classes online and they were half of what U of P wanted. They show up on the transcript just as on campus courses, no asteric, no notes identifying them as online. The college is accredited.
