I took UoP while I was on active duty, and have nothing but good
things to say about it. The classes were hard, so make sure if you
take two classes at once you have them alternating - one class being
in a participation week, and the other in a work week. You will get
overwelmed if they are both on work weeks at the same time.

You can expect righting a paper every work week.

UoP is regionally accredited. I'll put it this way - The U.S.
government will only fund a Regionally accredited University - not
National. I will let you decide which one is better.

Furthermore, I receieved my A.A.G.S. from Phoenix and ALL of my
credits transfered to Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA towards a
B.S. in Business Management.

I have taken both online programs and I have to say UoP is in many
ways, nicer. UoP has an awesome set up, a little more user friendly,
and the course calender actually has when everything is due. Also the
syllabus spells out every week's assignments and how to complete
them. Liberty's doesn't, although I have adapted.

Don't listen to all of the negitive stuff, if someone told me my
degree wasn't worth crap I would punch them in the face. I worked my
a** off, all while being an Active Duty Infantry Marine.

Some things that help:
Buy an external monitor and plug it into your labtop - this way you
can read the online book and do homework without having to constantly
switch back and forth.

Take a three ring binder, print out your course calender and slide it
in the front, then print out your syllabus and put it inside.
YOU CAN TAKE IT ANYWHERE!!

After a week is complete rip that week's syllabus crumble it up, step
on it and throw it in a fire - cause your one week closer to your
goal!

lol

Hope this helps and good luck
