University of Phoenix

The faculty and staff were GREAT!!! Spot on. It was the greedy, uncompassionate upper bureaucracy that was an intake and thus 2 stars. The managing company was changed/bought out twice during my 3 1/2 years and they made things worse each time and took more benefits and opportunities away each time. I’m glad I got in and out when I did. Overall it was sufficient.

This university is atrocious it blows my mind they can even afford advertising. I recently tried listing into an 8 month program with a fafsa of 0 which is the lowest I can go, I could have homeless parents and myself and still get a 0. I was speaking with an advisor, who wasted a lot of time talking in circles when I stated I was at work and to keep it brief, to respect both of our times. She was really nice and helpful but it felt like I was speaking to salesman. I applied to several schools, and doing my research. Going back to having a 0 on my fasfa, they gave me $4,000 and I owed $3,000. What? Who do you expect to pay for that when I clearly have no aid and no money. So this was a waste of everyone's time. Not to mention this university's retention rate is pretty bad and the graduation rates are at 31%. I had one school that accepted me who gave me $7,000 which payed for the entire course plus supplies. Employers will not take you seriously, if you have certifications from this school. I would not consider you if you are from a school that has poor retention rates and horrible graduation rates. If you go back to 2016 you can find information from showbiz cheatsheet that states, "The school's accreditation from the higher learning commission was placed on notice a while back." The cons severely outweigh the pros in this situation. If you have a fasfa do not go here, they will give you as little as physically possible. I would assume to pay for their advertising budget, I have seen them on a bunch of different websites. Although I cannot speak on behalf of people who don't have a fasfa, you will have a hard time having employers take you seriously on having certifications, unless the employer does no research.

Wonderful University. Advisers are informative and care about my experience. My instructors are not the typical academic types who only teach. Each instructor has a career in the field they are teaching. Their current experiences bring an extra element to the classroom and knowledge is applied to real-world issues and ideas. I am so grateful for the support network UOPX brings to their students. I LOVE UOPX!

These are the most dishonest crooks in the business of higher education. 3 true stories. My sister earned 99% of the Masters of Education degree, including student teaching. U of P staff told him she wouldn't graduate because 100% of the students she student taught didn't like her methods/personality. She sued and won. A friend of mine completed 99% of the Nursing degree, then was told he wouldn't be allowed to graduate because a few of his fingers didn't work due to an accident he'd been in a few years earlier. He sued them and won. My brother in law was taking classes in the Accounting major in at U of P in Denver. They told him he'd have to wait 2 years - that's 24 months - to take the next class required. He transferred to Regis University and never looked back. DO NOT GIVE THEM ONE CENT!!!!

I have NEVER been treated SO BADLY. I called to see about programs and I had questions and just because the first program I asked about was a No, I went to ask another and got informed she had other calls to answer!!!!! So. Rude. I would look at other schools. First impression was HORRIBLE.

Loved my teachers and my cohort. Couldn't have asked for a better experience getting my Master's Degree

How is the education there is good or not

UOPX was great.
