I need these courses with a letter grade. I am looking for something as easy as possible. To be blunt I don’t need to learn the stuff I just need to get the credits. I am willing to pay more as long as it’s something that works and is on the easy side.
I want to know how doable or difficult it is.
Really what I want to know is what do people have against the University of Phoenix? If I am not there to get educated and the price is not an issue do you guys still discourage The UoP?
My objection to Phoenix and many others in the for-profit space has been their (relatively) high cost, low quality, and predatory recruiting practices. There have been many studies that have shown that schools like Phoenix spend less than half of the tuition received on instruction. In other words, the majority of the dollars that you pay in tuition go to things like non-educational overhead, advertising, stock buybacks, and dividends.
So, if you don’t care about the cost, don’t care about (potentially) low quality instruction, apparently don’t care about supporting a company that historically has taken advantage of low-income individuals and veterans, then, go for it! Sounds like a great place for you!
