I'm currently an online student at University of Phoenix, working toward my Associate of Science in Cybersecurity, and so far it's been a solid experience. I started with CYB/100T, which gives a good foundational overview of the cyber domain before diving into more technical material, and the structure has made it easy to ease into the program without feeling overwhelmed right away.
As someone juggling life outside of school, the flexibility of the online format has been a huge plus. Classes are structured... Read More in a way that lets me keep up even on busier weeks, and the platform itself is straightforward to navigate. I haven't run into any major technical headaches, which matters a lot when you're trying to focus on actually learning the material instead of fighting with the software.
The course content itself feels relevant to where the cybersecurity field is heading. It's not just theory - there's a clear path building from concepts toward more hands-on skills like network defense and ethical hacking later in the program. That progression gives me confidence that by the time I finish, I'll have practical knowledge I can actually use, not just a piece of paper.
I also appreciate that the program acknowledges the value of industry certifications alongside the degree. Knowing that things like Security+, CySA+, and Network+ complement what I'm learning here makes the whole path feel more career-focused rather than purely academic.
Overall, if you're looking for a flexible online option that still takes the material seriously, I've been happy with my experience so far and would recommend it to others considering a cybersecurity path.

I am currently attending the University of Phoenix. So far it has been a pleasant experience. The only downfall is that some instructors have there own method of grading which sometimes it is unfair. As for some labs I am doing for my major some of it is slightly off which they need to correct. In my Major which is Cybersecurity when dealing with scripts in terminal, in order to execute an SQL query, CApitals and lowercase matter. In some content some of it was shown wrong which isn't the right method... Read More to teach one. It isn't the instructors fault which they have no control over, its do to the vendors, they need to fix those issues.
