University Of Phoenix

For over 40 years, University of Phoenix has made higher education accessible to people from all walks of life. We serve working parents, underserved communities, military members and first-generation college students with flexible degree plans that fit with their busy lives. University of Phoenix is designed specifically for adult learners. Unlike typical college students aged 18 - 22, adult learners often have to balance family life and careers alongside their education. The rigid schedules and in-person requirements of traditional universities mean many adult learners spend up to 10 years pursuing their degree. That’s why Dr. John Sperling founded University of Phoenix in 1976. Dr. Sperling grew up poor and struggled with a learning disability, seeing firsthand what it was like to struggle in an educational system that did not meet his needs. In response, he established the University to make higher education available to adults who wanted to learn real-world knowledge on their chosen terms. Since our founding, we have done just that. University of Phoenix gives students access to quality education paired with support and resources well after graduation. With dedication to innovation, University of Phoenix has transformed the higher education experience with virtual learning programs. We have offered online degrees since 1989, scheduling classes on a 24/7 basis so students can learn at any time and from any place. University of Phoenix is accredited by the [Higher Learning Commission] (http://hlcommission.org). We offer certificates as well as associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees programs with over 100 options mapped to over 300 potential career paths. As of 2020, University of Phoenix has celebrated 1,052,599 student alumni from over 80 countries. The benefits of the University extend far beyond our flexible coursework. We are here to give our graduates the ongoing support they need to pursue opportunities in their chosen careers: - Career Services for Life® commitment provides one-on-one career coaching and workshops to all University of Phoenix students and graduates. - Over 50 alumni chapters and the PhoenixLink Network connect graduates with potential job opportunities. - Students have 24/7 remote access to our digital library, which has thousands of eBooks and journals available on demand. - Students can also access self-guided or vendor-provided tutoring for math or writing through a dedicated tutoring portal. - University of Phoenix offers partial tuition scholarships to eligible students. The complimentary iGrad® service helps teach students how to budget, save and borrow money responsibly. We also offer the iLife Resource Center to connect students with counseling and life coaching options for housing, time management, and more. Since 1976, University of Phoenix has granted over 1.2 million degrees and certificates. Learning is far from easy, but the University aims to make learning more practical for working adults. Many of our students are nontraditional who are driven to meet their academic and professional goals. University of Phoenix has supported students for decades, striving to make it as accessible as possible for working adults to unlock their future with flexible degree paths.
