You will get out of it what you put into it. I have complaints, such as some of the duds in my learning teams, but how is that so different from the real world. If anything, I learned how to deal with dead-beats in a diplomatic fashion. You will find people at EVERY school in the country, around the world for that matter, who are not pleased. My business management degree from UOP helped me get the job I have now. Most people who won't accept a UOP degree don't know anything about it, have preconceived notions about an "on-line" degree, or are prejudiced against the format because they had to beat it out at a brick-n-mortar university. Do the math. Did you see Good Will Hunting? Speaking to a elitest Harvard student, the character, Will, says "You dropped $150,000 on an education you could have gotten with $1.50 in late charges at the public library." This is probably not far from the truth.
Ever heard the phrase: "Do your own think!" Don't be swayed by public opinion. If it feels right to you, then move forward. Ask the nay-sayers to submit proof for the feelings, and you will find that they are unsubstantiated.
