University of Phoenix Alumni?

I'm not an alum of UoP, but let me just say that there is little to no credibility to a degree from any online program IMO(unless it's done through a major university).

I would personally stay away from any school that is looking for a profit because it only signals they are more concerned with enrollment than quality of education. My B-I-L was a president of a couple of online schools and just hearing him talk about the garbage they go through, it's all about recruiting and retention above all else. He's now at a local CC that I wouldn't give

to go to either. At the end of the day, you're paying for an education and the last thing you want is a very expensive piece of paper because for a lot of online programs, that's all it is worth.

What do you intend to study?
