Why is the University of Phoenix such a bunch of suck butts?

They are a proprietary school, which means they are for profit.  They don't have a very good reputation with employers to be honest, so please investigate thoroughly before enrolling and getting a degree that will be worthless to you in the work world.

I had same question like a week before. So for advice i went to my universities advising center they said, "programs like university of pheonix and others that are being advtised on tv are crapy online programs". \n\nby the way its stony brook university, NY.

Professors are just like regular people (as much as they pretend to be better).  Some of them are great, and some of them are jerks.\n\nI had a professor who told everyone on the first day of class that he felt it was his responsibility to fail as many of us as possible.  Then he made an effort to do just that.  He delighted in embarrassing as many people as possible.\n\nMost of us decided the best revenge was to pass the class.  When I got an A, it really ticked him off.\n\nMaybe your teacher asked that question expecting that no one would be able to answer it so that he could feel superior.  When you were able to provide an answer it annoyed him, so he responded with a sarcastic comment.\n\nBTW - it does tell you one thing about this professor.  He watches (or used to watch) a program called "What's my line?"  That is the signature line the host uses during the whole program.\n\nSilk Dragon

Huge mistake.\n\nOnline degrees are not yet given the same credence that "brick-and-mortar" degrees have earned. Academia looks askance at these degrees, and most mainstream employers feel the same way.\n\nTry to transfer credits from U of Phoenix.  It is unlikely that CSUF will take all of them (if any). \n\nYour best bet is to get in touch with CSUF and ask if any of your U of Phoenix credits will transfer.  If they will, then great.  Transfer them in when you get readmitted to CSUF, and finish your degree there.  If not, then you've just learned a big lesson about the value of online education.  \n\nPerhaps in the future this may change.  However, we're not at that point yet.

Just to let you know, most employers ARE NOT impressed with University of Phoenix degrees or really any degree from an "online university". Your best bet, if you can, is to enroll in a regular college with a physical address and then take their classes online. Good luck!

It's a 'virtual' university meaning it's probably being run out of someone's basement or trailer.  There IS no official campus, there are no official buildings, etc.  It only exists as a website.  You most likely can get the slacker behind it to mail you a 'degree,' but it's worth no more than the 2-cents it probably cost to print it.\n\nIf an organization doesn't list their physical address on their website, and blocks the information when you do a 'Whois' search, they're obviously trying to hide something.

Ok Dolly U, you must be having a very bad experience or you are not coping with the Australian University system.

the one up north (calumet)  is not a good school... its a pilot campus if your going to get a good education go to the original one... I cant tell you how many times my husband had to miss a class because of the north camups bomb threats and such... most of then were students pranking so they could skip out on classes

Oddly, Republicans (who usually favor the idea of the free market and the creation of a wealthy elite) complain that the good universities are full of "liberal elite" and suggest they should be told how to select their faculty and students.  They're a strange bunch, those Republicans.

Same as why Miami, FSU, USC, Nebraska, stink at basketball.

they drop out because they can't handle the pressure or the drama and think that they will do better in the real world without a degree of any kind....in summary....THEY'RE MORONS!!!!

They have a hard time recruiting in their own backyard is their first problem.  Penn State, Pitt, even Rutgers beats them in their backyard for recruiting.  They need to recruit better in all honestly, if they could do that they could begin to build a program.
