Are they respected? For those of you that got degrees from them – would you do it again? Thanks!
I teach at a traditional university and I also teach courses on line. I have no connection or affiliation with Univ. of Phoenix
When you look at University of Phoenix, it has pioneered an educational and service model specifically geared toward the way adults learn best and made its programs widely available to working students.
According to its website, University of Phoenix is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It also has other specialized or professional accreditations. So if you enroll in their programs and complete them, the degrees are legitimate and recognized.
The question of respect is very subjective. The respect that any university – private or public- gets depends on numerous variables. If you are looking for it to compete with Harvard or Stanford, then this is not for you. But many employers are likely to accept it as good as other accredited institutions. If you are not sure, ask your employer.
If you want traditional programs, go elsewhere. But University of Phoenix satisfies a special need and is an expanding institution
