Question

Anyone know what schools think of teachers that have received their degree from the University of Phoenix?

Answer 1

Call the governing body for teachers in the state you will be teaching in and talk to recruiters/employers before you register. Do they require you to attend a certain type of school? Does you school need to be accredited? By any specific bodies? Use this information when you are looking at any school, not just UOP.

I enjoyed UOP more than the traditional school I got my AA and BS from. My masters program consisted of discussions, papers, and projects. For me, the benefit of being able to do school work on my own schedule outweighed the cons of the high cost.

I did go on to teach at a private college, but it was in nursing. You need a masters in nursing, not education, for that. I've also been training new nurses in our state university hospital.

Answer 2

I don't know amyone with a bachelor degree from them, but we have many teachers, counselors, and administrators who have used U of Phoenix to earn a masters.  They are satisfied with their educations, and, as far as I can tell, they have learned the necessary material, content, application, etc very well.

The district leaders appear to be satisfied as well.
