At 42 years old, with a 9-month-old daughter, a decade-long marriage, and businesses operating in both the United States and Colombia, going back to school was not something I took lightly. My life is busy, unpredictable, and full of responsibility. Before enrolling at the University of Phoenix, I had already experienced traditional college, and unfortunately, it was not successful for me at that time. The structure, pace, and lack of flexibility made it difficult to balance school with real-world... Read More demands. University of Phoenix changed that for me in ways I did not expect.

What stood out to me immediately was how easy the platform was to navigate. Everything from coursework to communication with instructors is streamlined and organized. As someone who has lived in California, North Carolina, and now Texas, and who also manages business across borders, I needed a school that worked with my life instead of against it. UOPX understands that many students are adults with careers, families, and responsibilities, not just full-time students living on campus.

I began my journey by earning my Associate of Arts in Information Technology at the University of Phoenix. That alone was a huge milestone for me. From there, I continued and completed my Bachelor of Science in Business. Now, I am close to finishing my MBA, something I once thought was out of reach. Each step felt achievable because the courses are structured in a way that builds on real-world application. The assignments are not just theory; they connect to professional experience, leadership, strategy, and problem-solving that I actually use in my businesses.

Another reason I appreciate the University of Phoenix is how accommodating it is for working adults and parents. With a baby at home, flexibility matters more than ever. Deadlines are clear, expectations are reasonable, and support resources are easy to access. When life happens as it always does, the school鈥檚 structure makes it possible to keep moving forward without feeling overwhelmed or defeated.

Compared to traditional colleges I attended in the past, UOPX feels more focused on student success rather than just attendance. Traditional campuses can sometimes feel rigid and disconnected from adult learners. At UOPX, the environment feels built for people who are already living real lives while pursuing education. The online format allows me to study from anywhere, whether I am in Texas, traveling, or managing work abroad in Colombia.

The 鈥渨hy鈥� behind my journey matters a lot to me. A degree is something that cannot be taken away. It represents discipline, growth, and personal victory. For someone who once struggled in traditional education, earning multiple degrees is more than academic鈥攊t is deeply personal. It shows my daughter that commitment and perseverance matter. It also strengthens my professional credibility as a business owner in two countries.

Overall, my experience with the University of Phoenix has been positive, empowering, and life-changing. The school made higher education realistic for someone with responsibilities, movement, and ambition. I did not just earn credits, I built confidence, structure, and long-term value for my future. For adult learners, parents, entrepreneurs, or anyone who once felt traditional college was not for them, UOPX offers a practical and supportive path forward.

For me, choosing the University of Phoenix was one of the best decisions I have made for my education and my life.

When I first began this journey, I was unsure whether I would even have enough time to dedicate to it. Because of that, I started cautiously by pursuing the certificate first. As I gained confidence, I continued on to complete my bachelor鈥檚 degree, and once that was finished, I decided to keep going and earn my master鈥檚 in business administration.
Looking back, the benefits I gained far outweighed the time and personal sacrifices required along the way. The entire process ended up being much more... Read More manageable than I expected. In the beginning, I assumed the coursework would be significantly more complex and that I would need far more resources to succeed. If I had known how attainable it truly was, I would have started many years earlier.
Overall, this experience has been incredibly rewarding, and I鈥檓 grateful I made the decision to continue advancing my education.

The program was surprisingly more advanced than I anticipated. The lessons are very practical, real world based which makes it quite easy to understand how to apply them. Another thing I appreciate is the freedom to work at your own pace, which is great for me, being married with 2 young kids and working full time. The flexibility is a major factor and it's quite easy to get help from faculty if needed! I've actually recommended University Of Phoenix to friends, without being coerced, for these particular...

Going to the University of Phoenix has been a notably good experience. The programs are designed to keep a healthy balance between flexibility and the willingness to work to ensure that no one succumbs to the side of being too rigorous. The course content and lessons deal with applied learning towards business and leadership problems.

Thanks to the professors being industry professionals; every student is able to learn and gain progress to a great extent. Each student is able to feel as though they... Read More are being mentored and professor also watch over the progress as requests are sent to them and feedback is given.

I鈥檝e learned to become more vocal and committed to helping leadership, such as the director/manager in my department, by consulting with staff to consider suggestions that can improve the department and hospital system. Often, administration/directors/and managers are new to the role, and they are given the role based on their education and leadership experience, minimal people skills, and some knowledge of the work area they will manage. Basically, on-the-job (OJT) training will help further their... Read More success in their role. Mastering Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) is vital for success in this Master鈥檚 in Business Administration (MBA) program. Great institution, wonderful and knowledgeable instructors, and staff.

My MBA experience was academically valuable and professionally transformative, especially in the courses where instructors engaged deeply with my work. Throughout the program, I noticed a clear difference in the quality of faculty feedback, which significantly shaped my learning experience.
In several courses, the instructors provided detailed, thoughtful, and actionable feedback. Even when assignments met the mastery level, these faculty members took the time to show how the work could be strengthened... Read More or expanded. Their engagement elevated the rigor of the program and aligned with the standard of mentorship expected at the graduate level. These courses had the most significant impact on my development as a leader and strategist.
In other courses, feedback was minimal or highly generic, even on major assignments. Often, substantial work received comments no more specific than 鈥済ood job.鈥� While the grades were satisfactory, the lack of meaningful guidance limited the developmental value of those experiences. Graduate education is most effective when instructors not only evaluate performance but also challenge students to refine their thinking, deepen their analysis, and grow in their professional communication. When the feedback falls short of that, the opportunity for advanced learning is reduced.
Another theme that emerged for me, especially as a business owner and entrepreneur, was the program鈥檚 strong orientation toward large enterprise structures. Many case studies and assignments were framed around Fortune 500 organizations, global corporations, or industries with significant capital and infrastructure. While these examples are valuable, they often differ substantially from the realities faced by small businesses, entrepreneurial ventures, and organizations that must operate with limited resources or rapidly evolving conditions. Integrating more content that speaks directly to small-business strategy, entrepreneurial decision-making, and resource-constrained environments would strengthen the program for students whose career paths do not mirror those of large corporate structures.
Despite these limitations, the courses where instructors demonstrated a high level of engagement consistently pushed me to perform at a higher level. Their guidance reinforced the value of the MBA and directly influenced my growth as an executive. Courses with minimal feedback did not provide the same opportunity for mastery, even when top scores were achieved.
Overall, I am grateful for the faculty members who invested in detailed evaluation, thoughtful critique, and student growth. Their contributions enriched my work and strengthened my capabilities. I encourage the university to adopt this level of engagement across all courses and to incorporate more content that reflects the realities of small businesses, entrepreneurial leadership, and organizations operating outside the Fortune 500 landscape. Doing so will increase the program's relevance and practical value for a broader range of students.

As with any school, there are pros and cons. I chose online school because this is what I have time for; I have a full-time job, kids at home, pets, and a house to take care of.
That being said, you get what you put in. There are some weeks that I put in very little effort and my grades suffer, and some weeks that I put in a lot of effort and my grades are better; however, the opposite happens as well.
