University of Phoenix was part of a trend that took advantage of the rigid nature of traditional academia and actually customized educational programs around working adults schedule. The problem is they charged outrageous rates for their service.

(The most telling fact in the article is that University of Phoenix still increased their revenue even with this drop)

But with accredited online universities like Western Governors University gaining traction and traditional schools realizing they need adult students University of Phoenix (and others) have lost their unique advantage. Which means a dramatic drop in students.

Rightfully so, you can get a better education with google search.

You can get a better education than at any University in the world through self-instruction. But not everyone has such skills, nor does that make it any easier to prove to others that you hold such knowledge.

While this doesn't speak for all its graduates I have met two of their products. One quite young, early thirties, one much older, early sixties. Both had the maturity and view on life of someone, well...who didn't go to university.

Is a degree from university of Phoenix taken serious by employers?
