i just registered for University of Phoenix, and i was wondering what other teachers thought of a degree from there. Will i get hired? i am getting everything from them, my AA all the way to my masters and credential. When getting a job, do employers consider people with a degree from U o P? I have read soo much negative feedback that i am starting to get nervous and i am considering canceling. Please let me know what you think or know about this school. I am a Full time working mother who just had a baby a month ago and thought this would be convenient, but now i am second guessing it. PLEASE HELP. thank you

Tony 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...See More

chris 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 expe...See More
