[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While University of Phoenix does have HLC accreditation, they are known for being a for-profit degree mill and many employers won't take the degree seriously. Transfering credits to another university will be hit or miss.

You are far better off taking online courses with a real brick and mortar university like the University of Maryland (or any other state university).

They do offer in person classroom instruction, the model is designed for working adults and if you're experienced and just need the piece of paper to check a box, it's not a bad gig. There is learning to be done. It's expensive but so is grad school.

A whole lot of reputable schools offer classes for working adults. UOP isn't alone in that group. It doesn't matter if they offer in-person instruction, they still aren't taken seriously by a lot of employers. If you're going to put in the work, you want to get the most bang for your buck instead of limiting yourself to employers who only care if you checked the box.[/quote]
