Re: University of Phoenix
Posted by frmillermaed on 12/16/06
I recieved my MAED degree from UoP after a year and a half of
hard work. By the time I was ready to graduate, all of my
initial doubts about the value of online degrees and UoP were
gone. I busted my ass, and found the quaity of education to be
higher than any I had recieved from the brick and mortars I
attended for my BA and BS degrees. 4 months after getting my UoP
masters degree in Education I nailed down a better job and about
a $20,000.00 annual salary inrease. I recommend UoP often to
adults who are working and looking for ways to attend school and
continue working.
At some point no doubt I will be longing for more education, and
will look to UoP as my preferred source.
