declining enrollment at University of Phoenix
#14
soliloquy Wrote:It still surprises me how many people run to for-profits without doing any research. I have told so many people who just applied to UoP by default that 16 of the colleges in the UNC system have online degree completion programs. We actually have a UoP campus right off the highway by my house. People are totally stunned when they find out about their other options. I have a cousin who spent 40K getting an AA from UoP and I was like why wouldn't you just go to the CC which has an online program and whose tuition is a cool 67 per credit hour right now. I had a colleague spend an ungodly amount of money at Argosy for the exact same program she could have obtained from UNC Charlotte for 1/5th the cost. Why aren't people doing their research? I just don't get it....especially since much of college is about....well....research.

We are neighbors Wink
I think you're right, there are some people who think "online=UoP" and don't even realize that their entire AA degree can be completed through every CC in our state, is guaranteed to transfer fully, and we have multiple distance learning options from there. For those who do those last 2 years in person, we're sitting around $225/cr. It's really just lack of investigation!
