NCATE doesn't mean much unless you are a teacher. UOPX is
accredited by the North Central Administration. Cheaper doesn't
mean better. You have to look at the entire package. The tuition
at Phoenix may be higher, but there are no hidden fees. The only
fee in addition to the tuition is for the Resource library. All
of the books are online, therefore, you don't have to spend $250
on a single book. You save a lot of money. You also don't get
hit with lab fees. I work fulltime, attend class, coach soccer and
baseball, and wait tables 2 nights a week to allow my wife to be a
stay at home mom. School is hard, but it's worth it. I've been
promoted since I started my MBA and relate it to the skills I'm
learning at UOPX.
