What do you think of University of Phoenix?

Question

Personal stories good and bad are welcomed!!

Answer 1

The school is appropriately accredited, which is a good thing, but a lot of employers, including every company I've ever worked for, has refused to hire its graduates. They don't consider it to be at all strong.

It's famous for being online, and for-profit, and for not being very good.

It's also extremely expensive. You could go to your local community college or public university for far less money.

If the issue is that you need to do the degree online, then consider schools that have a good rep for their campus-based programs, and which also offer online degrees. Again, check your local ccs and state unis, but if those fail you, also look at UMass Amherst, U Maryland, Penn State, Northeastern, Southern New Hampshire University, U Florida, and the other decent schools that offer a lot of online degrees.
