Freedom of religion is fine, but does not include freedom to impose your religion on other people. Was there at least a process for switching advisors?None of my emails or questions were getting answered. They went ignored so I droppedtge program. Then I get an email from a female that said I am writing to you on behalf of your advisor to not drop the program. I just never looked back.
(I agree though that it has become too expensive for what it is. I took one class there and the peer grading process was excruciating--and this comes from someone who has generally had positive experiences with peer grading outside of University of the People. I got so tired of people with poor English giving me, a professional writer and editor of more than 20 years at that point, zero grades for my "poor grammar.")
Also, do you know about the ASU Thunderbird 100 Million Learners program? It's been talked about elsewhere on this thread. It's a free certificate program consisting of 5 graduate level courses in various business and leadership topics. There is also an undergraduate version. Eventually there will be the possibility of earning academic credit for these, as well, but if you're don't need the degree for a job, I would think the certificate should suffice. Just do a search for "ASU 100 million learners".
