University of Phoenix – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

The overall experience is great. Some classes had assignments that were more busy work. The discussion question format needs a huge overhaul because that also is something that is more busy work than anything to fulfill participation aspects of the class. It would be great to implement more visual interactions like Flipgrid or something.

The experience is great because I am currently looking for work and being able to balance the work like with online is going really well. The resources help me out a great deal in self learning and when I need to reach out it's always available.

The faculty I have interacted with have been fantastic and have met every need I've had. I do have some concerns with the long-term direction of my degree though. I have taken on much debt in order to take these courses, and I worry that I will not be able to realize that value even after completing my degree. If I'm being realistic about the job market, the way an online degree is viewed by perspective employers, and what skills I will develop while in school, I think it possible that I'll be unable to increase my chances of success with this degree in a way that will meaningfully offset the cost. Not all of these concerns lie with the University or degree itself. I think my personal background and history may be a barrier that a degree will not help me cross, and I wonder if continuing to take out loans will be a positive route for me in the long-term. I can't help but thank the University for helping me get to this point, though I worry about the realistic outcome.

I enjoyed the flexibility of the MBA program. It allowed me to complete the program, and learn at my own pace. That allowed me to maintain a good work, life, and educational balance.

Easy to understand how to use the online school. Test are designed to make sure you understand the material being teached.
