University of Phoenix (Campus) Reviews

"With my Masters program I was able to take accounting and business administration courses. The teachers are very knowledgeable and gave us real life situations at the work place. At the University of Phoenix you get the chance to work with team. This is a very good idea because you are able to work with others. Also with the different team members you learn more since everyone has a different opinion and have a different way at looking at work related issues."

"I recently completed the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at the University of Phoenix. I completed the entire program in a On-Campus classroom environment in Austin, Texas. The University of Phoenix offers an excellent MBA program and provides a great deal of flexibility for working professionals. I was able to attend classes and submit homework assignments after hours while continuing work at my fulltime position for a company in the telecommunications industry. I have worked for the same company for nineteen and a half years and I consider being able to complete a graduate degree while furthering my career to be a real blessing provided by the University of Phoenix. Additionally, the program offers instruction from facilitators with solid academic credentials as well as a great deal of professional work experience. The additional insights the facilitators offer during in-class participation adds a significant benefit to the curriculum and program at the University of Phoenix.Read Less"

"The school is great for working adults because classes are offered online or on campus. The classes teach current material which helps students understand the business world. My degree was a Masters of Business Administration and every class build on the previous class. I have a better understanding of the business world and feel confident growing professionally."

"I like the University of Phoenix because it provides satisfactory elevations of academics. The University of Phoenix has been accredited by the Higher learning commission since 1978, and continuously receives accreditation from the higher learning commission. The University of phoenix is convenient for working students and works around your schedule. Working on teams rather online, or on campus as helped me develop interpersonal skills. My experience as a student has been rewarding, it has given me continued growth in knowledge that will help me with future endeavors.Read Less"

"University of Phoenix is a wonderful school, its main focus is its students. Teachers are motivated to have every student succeed because they understand they are preparing them for careers. Class sizes are small and the environment is professional. Coming to this school gives me hope of a better future, a better life, and a better career."

"Great program. I started our this program with hesitation due to the lack of time that would be spent in class. After a few classes and getting into the swing of things, everything started to fall into place. The teachers are great and I love being about to talk to people in different fields of work. After making it through my bachelor's program I decided to work for my master's degree. Although times are tough financially, it is worth every penny."

"University of Phoenix staff goes the extra mile to ensure that their student is successful in their chosen field of study. You get curiosity calls when it seems like you are having trouble in class. On the first day of class, you get a call to ask how the class went and how you feel about it. University of Phoenix also provides its students all necessary resources that they fell will be helpful in being successful in class."

"University of Phoenix offers a great program for students who have other responsibilities. The flexibility of class rotations, start times, and functionality has made it possible for me to go back for my MBA. The key is that the instructors are all master craftsman. They are not just another professor standing in front of the class spouting theory or info from a text. They work in the field they are teaching, they bring real world experience to the class room and relate it to what we can use in the workplace. The only dislike is the learning teams, but it is awesome to build relationships with people you are in the same rotation with to encourage and motivate from start to graduation.Read Less"

"I graduated from UOP with a BS in Criminal Justice in 2013. I choose to pursue a BS in Criminal Justice, ultimately because of the strong relationships I made with the Los Angeles Police & Sheriffs Department, as well as some of the faculty members in LAPD Gang Units. I then challenged some of my former students who wanted to drop out of high school, that if they continued their High School diploma, I would go back and get my MBA. My interest to further focus my degree in Education and Leadership was influenced heavily by my participation in the work in the community as a Mentor, Minister and Educator. I currently serve as the Dean of Student Services for a charter high school located in Compton CA, I am a Youth Minister as well as a Mentor for the nation Guard (Sunburst Youth Academy) at risk youth 15-19 years of age. Being awarded this scholarship would certainly help me financially since its more costly in the Doctoral Program. Thank you in advance!Read Less"

"I have been so pleased with the University of Phoenix, they have made everything so easy in the registering process and my advisor checks in with me regularly. Of course the schedule works well for me, I work full time and I'm also a single mom to a 13 year old. Meeting on campus one night per week works best for me. The classes are challenging, but in a good way, I feel very engaged and the learning has snuck up on me, I am already feeling like I am starting to understand the process of counseling. I have a lot more to learn, but it is clicking and I am so proud that at 45 years old, I am back to school and excelling with a 4.0. I did not know if I remembered how to write a paper, but it came back, no problem. The professors are very accessible and encourage questions on assignments if there is confusion. Even outside of class they are happy to help. I have recently joined the Alpha Beta Honor Society, and I am looking forward to networking with others in the field there. I highly recommend University of Phoenix, especially to working adults. If you are like me and an "older student", you can do it!Read Less"

"University of Phoenix is a great place to get your degree, they help you work around your schedule and many people supporting you along your journey. They online library is a great resource to research all items your area currently working on. What I enjoyed most were the free workshop. The one I took was being a critical thinker which definitely helped open my eyes."

"Classes in my program, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, are hit and miss. About half of my instructors have been good, some have been dismal. The program is way too long and way too expensive to be worth your while. Go to a state school for better value. My program is considered full time, yet it is 3 and a half years long, where similar programs at other schools are 2 years. By keeping us in school so long University of Phoenix gets to keep charging fees. Due to the length of the program, and the cost, pick another school.Read Less"

"The University of Phoenix offers a rigorous Master's level program with excellent instructors. My tenure in the 18-month program was enlightening and enjoyable. Receiving instruction which prepared me for the challenge of further studies at the doctoral level was immensely gratifying, fulfilling and has proven quite useful in my current academic pursuits. Most of the professors were engaging and readily available for support if needed, and provided helpful feedback on your progress during the programs. If I were to make a recommendation for the improvement of the program, it would be a greater focus on independent study and less reliance on 'group' study for students, culminating with an individual thesis. While I understand that as scholars there will be times when collaboration will be necessary in research efforts, the challenge of team work in the online environment, is that some students are not as invested or as professionally responsible as others, and the spread of the work to be completed is not evenly distributed among team members because of lack of participation by some. All in all, my experience was a pleasant and productive one, and I am proud to say that I attended the university of Phoenix.Read Less"

"University of Phoenix has an excellent set up for adults who work, raise children, are involved in activities, and are living life where day school is virtually impossible. One night a week is the common set up for programs presented at University of Phoenix which is perfect for those of us that want to pursue and complete graduate degree programs, but also have obligations in life which must be met. The teachers that I have had instruct the courses that I have taken in the program so far have been knowledgeable, helpful, and fair. I am grateful to have found a program that fits my busy lifestyle and that is preparing me for a career in counseling, along with preparing me to pursue a higher degree.Read Less"

"The University of Phoenix has a well thought out plan to aid you in your academic career. From beginning to end you are helped by campus associates who are engaged in you academic career. I am very happy with the level of assistance that I am receiving throughout my academic career at the University of Phoenix."

"The Master's degree for Clinical Mental Health Counselor at the University of Phoenix has been the best educational experience of my schooling career. The instructors are all seasoned counselors and that experience allows for rich, real-life discussions of what my desired career can hold for me. I enjoy learning from and networking with professionals from the field of counseling. I also appreciate the wide range of experience that I receive from the program curriculum."

"I am currently pursuing a master's degree from Phoenix University of Ontario. The school is close and convenient for my busy lifestyle. Phoenix provides instructors who are working in the field of Counseling and Psychology. The experience has been great, especially for someone who use to go to the library and complete papers. I have not been to school for over twenty years but with the supported staff that are there for you to succeed if you want. The staff help to remove all of the fear I had with technology and writing. They provide assistance in every area of learning. It has been a blessing to my future endeavors and I look forward to conquering this next chapter in my life at 50.Read Less"

"The program at the University of Phoenix at the Vancouver campus was very interesting, diverse and impactful. It made a difference in the person that I have become because of this learning experience. It has not only changed and challenged me professionally but personally as well. I encourage anyone who has the time to actually take classes at this campus."

"The Pros for being in my program is that the instructors are in the field they are teaching. Unlike "old" professors who have been teaching straight out of the book versus applying practical knowledge. A Con to the program is that some of the courses you really need more than the allotted time to learn the material."

"A Graduate Degree from any school is an achievement. University of Phoenix caters mostly to military and ex-military students however, the company I work for has a partnership with them, and a 10% discount is provided to me on the tuition. This discount however, is not enough to cover the thousands of dollars I have spent thus far in my education. The program is definitely geared towards working students, and this is definitely a pro. Being able to attend classes at night, and being able to complete and submit work online allows me to complete my studies and school work when I am not at work. The only con with the graduate program, as previously stated, is the cost. While I believe that the cost for the courses is reasonable, it is still expensive for me to pay for it on my own.Read Less"
