How It Works

As University of Phoenix is dedicated to working professionals, our education offers unsurpassed convenience, efficiency, and value. For most programs, you will attend class just once a week at a convenient campus location. Classes are held in the evening or on weekends, so you can continue working full-time while pursing your college education. In addition to classroom interaction, you will also meet with your learning team once a week and complete homework assignments on your own. Our classes are purposely kept small to encourage active participation and lively discussion. This enables us to leverage the combined experience of the whole class to cover more ground in less time. Courses are offered one at a time, so you can more fully explore each subject. And each course builds upon previous courses to provide a context for better understanding.

The learning teams are organized to replicate the typical work environment. So while you're learning the latest theories and techniques, you're also perfecting your skills at management, communications, and leadership - the type of skills that lead to success in today's business world. Above all else, the education is focused on your career success. For this reason, programs are continually updated so students can gain the most sought-after skills and expertise employers' demand. In addition, assignments can be made applicable to your current job. In fact, over 50% of our students' report using a class project at their workplace.

Exceptional student service is a cornerstone of University of Phoenix. You can conduct virtually all of your administrative business via the Internet , including obtaining your books. Even your research is made more convenient with access to the University's Online Library. While in school and after graduation, you can take advantage of our Alumni Network benefits , where you'll find networking, career resources, and discounts on products and services.
