University of Phoenix Reviews

very flexible

The University of Phoenix values its students and enhances the learning process to ensure courses are tailored to a specific area of study and the development of each individual.

My guidance towards getting my licensure has been non existent. When I have questions or seek assistance what I get is a long cookie cutter email with a thousand hyperlinks.

University of Phoenix — A Call for Accountability and Safety for African American Students My experience with the University of Phoenix has been deeply disappointing and painful. While the institution promotes itself as inclusive, supportive, and committed to student success, my personal encounter reveals a strikingly different reality for African American learners; especially when faculty behavior goes unchecked. In my time as a student, I have faced ongoing hostile interactions with Professor Claude Toland that raise serious concerns about racial bias in teaching, grading, and communication. These patterns have created unnecessarily challenging and unjust learning conditions for me and other Black students. Critically, the grading processes used have felt arbitrary and punitive, contributing to stress, confusion, and a sense of being unsupported. When issues were documented thoroughly, often with detailed evidence, it became clear that the concern was not merely about misunderstanding, but about how feedback and evaluation were delivered in a way that felt discriminatory. What has been most disheartening is not only the behavior itself, but the University’s response. Despite extensive documentation and clear examples, University of Phoenix leadership has not acted in a way that protects the academic integrity and well-being of its African American students. Instead, the message communicated has been closer to “this is how the professor is”, an expectation that students must simply accept hostile or racially insensitive conduct as normal or unchangeable. This response silences students who raise concerns, minimizes the real emotional and educational harm caused, and protects faculty at the expense of learners who are already navigating systemic inequities. Racism in education, whether explicit or implicit, has deep, lasting effects. When an institution fails to address it meaningfully, it undermines its own mission to deliver equitable education to all students. I am sharing this review not to attack individuals, but to advocate for accountability, fairness, and true inclusion. Every student deserves a learning environment where they are judged on their work without bias, where concerns are taken seriously, and where cultural competency and respect are not optional. The University of Phoenix must do better to protect its African American students and uphold academic integrity when harmful behavior is brought to light.

What made the experience so great was the flexibility and the responsiveness of the instructors and other faculty.

6 years ago I had no degrees. I was meddling with career choices that was sending me into purgatory. I wanted a better life for my family. So I set a manifesto that I would get my degree working 4 years. I did it in 3.5. Then I wasn’t finished and wanted to go get my masters. Finished in 16 months. Now I have job interviews from every which direction. Getting close to the point where my family will never know struggle again. UOP has been an absolute blessing. The school changed my life and for that I am always grateful.

Instructor was great and io learn a lot from this course.

Would recommend to everyone. Which i do. Absolutly love this school

My experience has been great because of all the available support from the university. Each department I have received assistance from has been very helpful especially student accommodations while I navigate some health issues. The site is easy to use for all of my assignments.

They encourage you to save money on your tuition, provide helpful tips along the way, the site is very user friendly, and they truly want to see you succeed.

She was kind and patient

I love taking 1 course at a time. I think this university is for working adults and the support that we receive is amazing!!

Fantastic experience with this school.

As an adult learner returning to school, my experience with the university’s online program was both supportive and empowering. The flexibility of the online format allowed me to balance work, family, and coursework without feeling overwhelmed. The instructors were accessible and understanding, and the course materials were well organized with clear expectations. What stood out most was how relevant and practical the coursework was, making it easy to apply what I learned to real-life and professional situations. This experience reminded me that learning is lifelong and that it’s never too late to invest in yourself.

My experience with my degree program so far has gone awesome there's absolutely nothing I can complain about.

Education is key to a better life. Life is a work in progress. Never stop living, enjoying, dreaming, and preparing for a better life.

Worst instructor and class

I truly appreciate how everyone here genuinely cares about my success. The service is exceptionally prompt, especially with homework help, and my questions are always answered in a timely manner. Thank you so much.

The classes and the design of how we take are courses is perfect

I like the program overall. However, I wish we did more practical work instead of listening to lectures and watching videos, which are helpful but do not really prepare us for the counseling work.
