UoP is a good school. Especially if you have a full time job and seeking to advance your career to greater heights. UoP gives you the platform to do just that. The faculty is great. The school reputation isn't that great because it is mainly known for its online degrees but it has been trying to build repute as a campus based school too. The only down side is that the school takes just about any one who apply's without even asking for an SAT score. This is why they have a graduate rate of only 15 percent, but these 15%rs become become just as successful as any one else from a more prestigious school.

I am a distance learner, returning adult. The class participation is much more dynamic than in a conventional campus classroom. As long as the student is willing to work and meet the deadlines of the assignments and class participation, this is a great and flexible alternative for people who might be challenged with scheduling constraints from a traditional school. Because of the online communication, questions need to be asked well in advance of due dates to ensure timely response. There are several counselors available to assist for those who may have difficulty with a specific faculty issue.

I have never had any problems with UoP. I started going there a couple years ago and completed my AA with them In Feb 09. I am currently a student in the Bachelor program. The classes are challenging, and having been to a brick and mortar school I actually have found the online experience more enriching and asking more of me then the brick and mortar ever did. There is much less drama then on traditional campuses and people going WANT to be there, and those that dont usually drop classes or are dropped for not doing their part. Mostly I have noticed the negative comments coming from those types of students. Its common to see people blame others including colleges for their failures so it is not shocking to me in the least to see some of these comments. It is just sad to me that these people waste so much time belittling the school. If they used that much time towards working on school work they may not have flunked out.
