		<description>&lt;p&gt;The conclusion seemed abrupt and unexamined to me. I&#039;m a learning architect for a fortune 500 company and being required to make a business case for using U of P. This is a &quot;request&quot; from our EVP, who has a relationship with the U of P account exec. These kinds of maneuverings can also contribute to increasing enrollment.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;the entire curriculum is for sale on the internet. If you are an instructor who teaches for them and try to give your students a quality education by designing your own content, you are then subjected to student complaints. Most of the students know that the curriculum is for sale on the internet. When they find out that they cannot cheat their way through your class some of them complain. Of course, there are always those who do really try to learn. Unfortunately, the university does not take into consideration whether or not students are being vindictive when accepting complaints on instructors. The bottom line is that if you are trying to offer your students a quality education you are vulnerable. So, if you were the instructor what would you do?  You would revert back to the information that is pre-made by the school. Students end up in my classes (upper level at the associates level) who can barely write  intelligible sentences and many of them are about to graduate with an Associate&#039;s--need I say more?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am also a UOP student who just finished his associates degree and continuing on with my bachelors. The complaints I have read about the university seems to stem from people who could not maintain or was not able to control time management. I believe that to get an education, one must put the time in and maintain strict adherence to the rule, not just sit there and expect some one to hand them intelligence.&lt;br&gt;I also want to say that since being with the UOP I have had no such problems that cannot be solved with common sense, again it seems as though these people want someone to hold there hand and do there school work for them.&lt;br&gt;thank you for the comment.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,
I am a student of UOP and am completely happy with the education provided by them. I oppose the statement that UOP sells degrees.Obtaining a degree from UOP is not a easy task. They have minimum attendance requirements, assignments which have to be completed according to specific guidelines within specific period of time. The course work is excellent and covers all the areas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would encourage every single person who says that &quot;UOP sells degrees&quot; to attend classes and check if its really true. I feel its just biased opinion. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Education doesnt come for free. People like us who spend our money, time and efforts are discouraged by people who believe in traditional colleges. I would just say their gain from such statements is ZERO. But they are affecting more than 300,0000 students worldwide who hold such degrees after putting in their efforts. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After I started my MBA with UOP, I have definitely improved a lot .
If one has sincerity, hardworking, have motivation to improve their knowledge and excel in life , I dont think that any obstacles would prevent them from doing so.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;UoP is is just a legit as traditional universities. The accredidation body is the same (Higher Learning Commission and AACBS). What does that mean? The degree from UoP holds the same value as schools such as Michigan State and University of Michigan. I chose to attend UoP because of the flexible scheduling. After high school, I could not get financial aid due to living at home with my parents. I also chose UoP because of the instructor knowledge--real world application and theory. The same instructors also work in the field they teach. As a student, you get the best of both worlds because you are taught what is happening in the real-world, not just book knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;UoP at least has the gall to admit it is a for profit institution. Think about this: Aren&#039;t all schools for profit, when you really think about it? If you say no then you need to think again. If traditional school were not for profit, they would not charge for tuition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At a private college, an emphasis is put on academics, than sports, fraternities or sororities, which means that the success rate is much higher. Grades are not just given to students. A successful student will earn their grade. UoP is not a degree mill. Again, you earn your degree. If UoP were an easy school as many claim it to be, then why are there so many nay sayers to the university? Perhaps because those same individuals who have negative comments about UoP are those who wanted a degree given to them, and when it was realized that they had to work, they became bitter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To close, I will say this: If you want to find out why UoP is the largest private institution in the world, take a few classes, and you will see first what seperates UoP from the competition.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am currently looking at some online degree programs. I have not yet decided to take the plunge for many of the usual reasons. But I think that I will and soon. I live in an area that is remote, our local colleges are just community or state colleges and I do not like their programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I work a job that has a call schedule and I also can&#039;t go to school during the day, when most traditional colleges have the classes you need for your major. The main issue with online schools for me is the weight that they carry. I learn a lot on my own and I don&#039;t want to commit to something that takes three years if it will do me no good.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;UofP sell degrees the same way time-share get sold to those who don&#039;t want them... using nothing but mind numbing persistence.  Personally, I think UofP is an outstanding institution that is filling the role that high schools abandon a long time ago... that, and they&#039;re doing a marvelous jobs upgrading the non-commissioned officer pool to 2nd Lt. cannon fodder.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;hey,   I know of several employees at Fermi that are getting degree&#039;s through the university of pheonix.  Mostly secretaries... The only complaints I have heard is from one secretary that had a submitted assignment get lost by a professor and she was having issues getting a grievance on it resolved.&lt;/p&gt;
