Schools, Colleges & Education
Founded in 1976, University of Phoenix became one of the first online universities designed for working adults. We offer a powerful combination of career guidance, personal support and flexible learning opportunities — all with options to help save time and money on your degree. Here, the best time for class is when it fits your schedule, so you can balance it all — work, family and school — by focusing on just one 5-to-6-week course at a time.
We are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (hlcommission.org), which validates the University and the quality of our academic programs.
Our students learn career-relevant skills from our faculty —?leaders working in business, technology, healthcare, education and more — who bring a hands-on perspective and practical knowledge to the classroom. Because we know your life doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, we offer personal support and resources by phone, chat or email to encourage your success as a student and beyond. And with so many ways of staying connected to an inspired community of students just like you — who understand what it takes to keep going and can motivate you along the way — you’re never alone.
As a transfer-friendly University, we accept transfer credits from over 5,000+ schools; plus, we provide students with the opportunity to have relevant experiences — everything from life experience to past jobs —?evaluated for potential credit to help our students get the college credits they deserve when going back to school.
