I enrolled after witnessing the positive results my husband has realized from earning his UoP degrees.

The course work does start off relatively simple; but don't worry, the momentum increases quickly. As others have said, this is not a school for those who are not self disciplined.

As for those who feel that there has been a lack of support-I have an amazing team of advisors who keep in touch regularly.

There are also local campuses that offer face-to-face resources. I am happy with the level of education... Read More being offered, and I am confident in my ability to compete in the work place.

From the very beginning I was lied to. Enrollment counselor made promises and guarantees that were inaccurate to get me to sign up. Financial aid department was like dealing with a five-year-old who is in control of your checkbook. I was given 9 different financial aid advisers over the course of three years and was only informed of one changeover. Several of the advisers didn't even know they had new students added to their caseloads until I called to find out why there were issues with my financial... Read More aid. At one point it took 5 weeks to get a hold of someone in the financial aid department and only when I promised to call the corporate office did I get a return call. There are no job placement services even though they say there is. I have never heard anything about job placement services. I was given a lower grade than warranted due to the instructors reading policies incorrectly and when it was brought to the University's attention they said there was nothing they could do about it because the class was already over. Student support never answered the phone and even though they say they will get back to you within 24 hours it is not true. It usually takes three to four days.

This school is a joke. I was not surprised when they started closing campuses due to their accreditation of those campuses being revoked.

Not only is the school a joke, but you are paying Ivy League college prices for below average education and years of fighting.

They try to give you all information over the phone and then if you have no written account of what they said in your own records they will back out of what they say. After two years of broken promises and false information I finally started getting everything in writing and email. This is what saved me from a 3000 dollar bill one week before I graduated.

I recommend you keep searching and pass this school over. Not worth the time, money, and emotional strain you will most likely experience. I actually filed three complaints with the BBB but only one was validated because I had nothing in writing for the others.

I went back to give myself an edge in job hunting competition and job change options. I only had my AA from 20 some years ago. I actually (finally) learned algebra here at UoP. The classes were very challenging. I did on campus for all of my bachelor's and most of my master's except for the last 5 courses which was global management so the participants were more diversified in experience from all over the country than in my local neighborhood "campus".

Overall I learned a lot and it boosted my confidence... Read More to progress in my career but not quite where I want it to be 7 years later. Also it is very expensive and I did get no hassle low rate loans the whole time but I am STILL paying it off (7 years later).

MOST of the people in my classes were there because their company was paying for it and their companies wanted to promote from within but they technically needed the piece of paper/degree. So, it was a good experience for me and I like that I got both experiences of the "campus" and online.
