Online classes focus heavily on teamwork, and your grade will suffer if your team mates are unreliable or do not consider e-mail communications in the same light as regular communications. Most of the faculty, although hired from the professional fields, is not up to properly teaching. Submitted papers are run through an autograding program and seldom read by faculty and staff. Failure to format the paper exactly to specification will result in a low grade regardless of the quality of the work submitted. The online materials and libraries are the best part of this university, as they are basically free and very comprehensive. The admissions staff is friendly and maintains contact with you during and between classes. But the instructors are HORRIBLE and spend as little time as possible actually instructing the class.

I did my undergrad, and masters at brick and morter schools, and this is just as challenging, and even more so without all the social drama, and at a schedule that works for me. So great!

The same negative statements said against Univ. of Phoenix have been said for just about any other regionally and AACSB or ACBSP accredited college or university, even worse in some cases and that includes top tier with their major focus on generating endowments, return on investments and other revenue generating endeavors. I find that, like against other schools, the root beind these negative statements come from disgruntled individuals who failed to some degree in their academic pursuits and instead of holding themselves accountable, they blame the school. Univ. of Phoenix like any other regionally and pragmatically accredited university is bound by accreditation standards to maintain a marked level of academic delivery and excellence. Yet the school cannot be held responsible for the student's lack of motivation and ability to maintain an acceptable level of academic performance. On a positive note, I noticed that Univ. of Phoenix has become more active in alumni activties giving its graduates a since of still belonging; greater emphasis on extracarricular activities like other so-called traditional school and a culture that attempts to give the student a since of ownership and pride in their university. In my opinion, Univ. of Phoenix continues to grow and evolve into a well respected university. It is what it is! University Resource Use: A, Extracurricular Activities: C+ Have a Question?
