University of Phoenix

[GoBroncos95]

Is the University of Phoenix and RA accredited school? Yes.
Is the University of Phoenix a Diploma Mill? No.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who could not price compare college tuition using the Internet. All the UoP sob stories are from people who probably think credit cards don't have an interest rate. I am so tired of stupid people using being stupid as an excuse that they are now a victim.

I am sure many UoP students fell for overhyped marketing just like people do everyday with the latest miracle natural health cure. Not my problem. All the qualified UoP students graduated with more debt than they needed if they price shopped colleges but that can be said of most graduates of Higher Ed institutions these days.

I've hired UOP graduates for IT positions and they were excellent employees. All were ex-military but I found zero evidence that they did not receive a good education and they were all highly prepared for the job. They actually tried to defend the school in the interview which was unnecessary because it is a legitimate University.

I would not turn down a free MBA.

Since I work in Las Vegas and work for one of the two major players in the casino industry, I am sure the MGM or Caesars Group recognize University of Phoenix entirely since they both are partners with the school. 

However, I am not quite sure outside of that realm of hospitality. But as they say, experience supersedes any education.
