Stay away from University Of Phoenix online. They feed you the biggest lies in the world and are purposely misleading. My cousin who lived with us at the time tried it out for two classes.

First you can only manage one class a semester which you only gain three credits from. At this pace you will take twice as long to get a degree as oppossed to the traditional classes.

Each of those classes are over $4000 when all is said and done. They won't tell you exactly how long it will take for you to graduate. They told my cousin it will take her between 3-6 years for a degree.

The biggest part that was super misleading was they said she could do it in her spare time. That was bull. She averaged between 25-30 hours a week on just one class.

They make you read like you are in law school, up to eighty pages a day, yes 80. The other part that was frustrating, is the online professor makes you team up in groups with other online students to get together on projects. You have to be online at the same time. This becomes a big problem when students are on a different time zone. When someone does not participate, you are expected to make up for their slacking.

Stay away from University of Phoenix. Their main objective is to drag it out as long as possible to keep the check coming in their way.

Look into other programs and mention what I said, see if they offer you an exact time to graduate, if not run.
Your best bet honestly is to look into a local communtiy college and load up on saturday classes. You will get done much faster that way.
Once you are armed with a degree you are on a completely different level. Can never be taken away from you.
One of the best jobs to get into after a four year degree program is pharmaceutical sales. Easiest way to jump right into a six figure income bracket and they are always hiring regardless of the economy. They are thriving.
