What is the reputation of University of Phoenix's online degree program w/ job recruiters?

admin — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:54:00 +0000

I have decided to pursue my Masters degree in Marketing online, due to time and money constraints. I know University of Phoenix is well-established re: its online education program. However, does it have any real credibility w/ recruiters and placement/HR offices?

It is definitely more economical and technologically advanced than the online programs of established colleges and universities.

But is it worth it? Are there any traditional colleges of which anyone is aware that offer good online programs at a reasonable cost? Thanks very much.

Yes,there are many better choices than UoP. If you are interested I would advise you to visit Degree Discussion (http://www.degreediscussion.com/forums/) there are lots of people there who can help you. There is a lot of bad things being said about UoP and the way it operates. There are cheaper and more reasonable Online Marketing programs.
For example :
Baker College (http://www.bakercollegeonline.com/index.cfm/degreeonline-program)

Regis University
(http://www.mbaregis.com/degrees_mbamktg.asp)

University of North Alabama
(http://www2.una.edu/business/mba/index.html)
or
(http://www.columbiasouthern.edu/UNA/programs/marketing.html)

There are plenty more..that are at least as "affordable" as UoP, One thing to make sure is that all Colleges and Universities you consider are Regionally Accredited (if In the USA). You may or may not choose to go for Professional Accreditation(AACSB) but that is more about choice then acceptability(please note the only Professionally Accredited school I listed was the University of North Alabama and they are not accredited by AACSB by the lesser known ACBSP.) I would really recommend the Degree Discussion message board, a lot of people who have vast distance learning(DL) experience.

Opinion on University of Phoenix Online program?

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:10:08 +0000

I am considering taking courses through University of Phoenix's online program, I want to get my psychology degree. Has anyone been through their online program? If so what did you think? Was it hard? Did you learn a lot? What did you like and dislike about the program? How was the workload? I work 40 hours a week and go to the gym almost every evening so I'm concerned how much free time I'm actually going to have!

I am currently enrolled in the doctoral program with University of Phoenix. I usually spend about 2 to 3 hours per day on the subject with the reading of materials and postings that are required. In my experience, I have learned more than I thought I would. What I like is that the facilitators (instructors) are very knowledgeable and help with the learning of the materials. I would not give up the experience I have had for a on-ground education. Another items I like is the flexibility of the classes. I can spend my time on-line each day as it fits into my schedule. As for dislikes, I can not say a bad thing.
