Honestly, totally worth it for working professionals.
I’m in my 30s with a full-time job, so finding something that actually worked with my schedule was non-negotiable. UoPeople nailed the flexibility—having submission deadlines every Wednesday before 11:45 PM (Chicago time) gave me the buffer I needed to actually polish my research and write my best work without panicking. Beyond the schedule, the connection is real. I felt closer than ever to classmates from Africa, the US, the UK, Asia, and the Middle East, and the professors (who hold PhDs) were accessible from anywhere. Considering it has the highest level of Regional Accreditation, free open-source books, and a top-tier curriculum, the value is unbeatable.
