Some educators think it is a joke, while others are starting to see that some people are actually seeing that it is useful in some areas. UOP used to not be as highly thought of, but they are taking more effort into creating better graduates. It is, however a good route to go if you don’t have a university close by to attend. Be ready to spend 15 -20 hours a week on classes though. They do make you work for your grades.

By the way, congrats on choosing to go back to school and good luck.

Blunt Honesty

It’s not horrible, but I don’t think people really respect it all that much.

i commend you on completing your degree. and if work will pay for it, you should try to get the best education possible. buy only you can decide on what the “best” for you will be…

when i went back for my MBA, every school practically ridiculed the university of phoenix. so i decided to go to USC and i have not regretted it one bit.

the university of phoenix is surprisingly expensive; and they market very well to people in situations similar to yours. if i were you, i would check out programs at REAL schools to see if you can earn your degree while working full-time. if USC offers it, most likely other schools will too..
