We believe everyone deserves access to higher education.
I've finally found an education that's tailored to my life and academic goals.
In 1976, John Sperling founded University of Phoenix so working men and women could go to college and earn their degree. What began in Phoenix, Arizona, grew to become the largest private university in North America, with more than 200 locations. Now, students come here for an education that is relevant to their lives, and to the world around them.
Whether you go to class online or on campus, you'll find:
- Class times that fit with your work, family and social life.
- Small class sizes for engaging discussion and interaction with your classmates and instructor.
- Faculty who combine their personal knowledge of the field with proven academic theory.
- Up-to-date curriculum that is developed in collaboration with faculty and industry experts.
- Personalized student support from a team of advisors who help you from enrollment to graduation.
- A world-class online library that is available 24/7, so you have access to scholarly research, when you want.
Gain knowledge you can use tomorrow, not in four years.
I'm looking for a degree program that teaches me what I need to know - not what a textbook says is important.
At University of Phoenix, you learn from a curriculum designed by experts in your field of study, whether you're earning your associate's, bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree. Our curriculum is developed in collaboration with our faculty and industry professionals to ensure that it is up-to-date and relevant. This means our programs aren't wasting your time; instead, you're gaining knowledge one day that you can use at work the next. Program availability varies by location and learning format.
There's more than one way to earn a degree. Find out what works for you.
I don't have free time. I work. I have kids. I run a household. But I want my degree.
University of Phoenix exists because there are thousands of people like you who want an education, but can't afford to put life on hold for four, or more, years. Many of our students are working adults who have families and demanding schedules.
It's still a lot of work, and we definitely won't say it's easy. But getting your degree is possible if you're willing to work hard and be a little creative with your time.
Our schedule adapts to your schedule.
Flexibility. Another reason to become a Phoenix.
We believe that every adult deserves the opportunity to earn a college degree. University of Phoenix was established to provide options for a high-quality higher education.
Go to class online from anywhere you want.
- Online learning lets you "participate" in class through online forums.
- You access reading materials, lectures, questions and assignments from your instructor online, so you can study when, and where, you want.
- Build teamwork skills by collaborating online on assignments with your learning team.
Life can be complicated. Earning your degree shouldn't be.
Earning your degree one course at a time. Another reason to become a Phoenix.
My life doesn't operate on the semester schedule.
University of Phoenix offers higher education that's designed for working students, and our year-round schedule reflects this. Instead of the traditional college course load, you take one course at a time. And, you can begin your degree program almost any month of the year. It's hard enough to squeeze a degree program into your already-packed schedule, but we make it possible.
Higher education that's more than a classroom and a textbook.
Learning from working professionals.
My instructor's real-world experience is something I can't get from a book.
If you're like most of our students, you have a job as well as a desire for higher education. As a working student, you'll learn to connect textbook readings and class discussion with what actually happens at work. Our faculty members hold advanced degrees and have professional experience in the fields they teach. They know just how to link conceptual course material with real-world application.
We believe putting professionals in the classroom is the best way to prepare you for the workplace.
Small classes.
I knew everyone in my class pretty well. Including my instructor.
At University of Phoenix, we believe that small classes are an important part of your success. Keeping class sizes down means that instructors are accessible, and that you're held accountable for your own academic achievement. With an average of 15 students per class, our intimate classroom setting provides you with a place to discuss new concepts, try out new ideas, develop communication skills and test your leadership abilities.
We've found this kind of active learning helps build self-confidence and teamwork -- two important skills that employers look for.
Collaborative learning teams.
When everyone does their part, we all succeed.
At University of Phoenix, our job is to help prepare you for your job.
We want you to learn. But we also want you to learn how to excel in a professional environment - which means we place a high value on teamwork and communication. To help you hone these skills, you'll collaborate on class projects in teams of three to five people. Online or on campus, working in a learning team allows you and your group members to contribute your strengths, but also receive help in areas where you're weaker. Collaborative learning creates the push-pull of both peer pressure and peer support, while also developing skills for the workplace.
Dedicated Enrollment Advisors.
I haven't taken a class in years. I have no idea where to start.
Even if you know you want to go back to school, you might not know exactly how to get started. Before you enroll at University of Phoenix, you'll speak with an Enrollment Advisor who will talk to you about your interests and our degree programs. Your advisor will also walk you through the entire application process and answer all your questions about forms, fees and everything you need to do before you get started. Your advisor will put together an education plan that will help you earn your degree in a timeframe that works with your life. Your advisor can also provide information on transferring applicable credits, prior completed courses and professional training credits.
Dedicated Academic Advisors.
It's nice to know there's someone you can always call for academic support.
We know that starting a degree program can be confusing. We've done everything we can to make this process as straightforward as possible, so you can spend less time on your schedule, and more time on your work. As soon as you start class, your Academic Advisor will contact you to provide a schedule detailing which classes you need to take and when. They'll map out your entire degree program, including the exact date of your graduation. Your advisor will check in with you periodically throughout your program to make sure you're comfortably on track. Any time you have questions, you'll know exactly who to ask.
Dedicated Finance Advisors.
I have a thousand questions about how to pay for school.
There's someone who can answer them.
If you've considered going back to school, you've probably wondered how you'll afford it. Education costs money, but luckily there are a lot of ways you can get help paying for it. Your Finance Advisor can also help you apply for various programs and services that you might not even know about. We know that our students' situations are subject to change, so throughout your University of Phoenix experience, your advisor will remain on-call to answer any questions you have.
When it comes to paying for college, you have options.
Let's face it, college is expensive. But, that's no excuse for not going to school. There are a lot of ways to pay for your education, including grants, scholarships, loans, payment plans and more.
Options include:
Federal Financial Aid
We participate in many federal student aid programs, including the low-interest Stafford Student Loan, the PLUS Loan and the Pell Grant. There is no charge for processing financial aid applications. Your Enrollment Advisor can discuss these options and walk you through the process while helping you with your application for admission.
Financing Options
We offer numerous options for financing your education. Our cash-paying plans let you pay for one course or block at a time, rather than an entire semester or year at once. Alternatively, pre-paying tuition will guarantee that your rate will not increase for the duration of your program.
Company Funding
University of Phoenix is eligible for most company reimbursement programs. In fact, many of our students receive all or part of their tuition from their employers.
