We believe everyone deserves access to higher education.
I’ve finally found an education that’s tailored to my life and academic goals.

In 1976, John Sperling founded University of Phoenix so working men and women could go to college and earn their degree. What began in Phoenix, Arizona, grew to become the largest private university in North America, with more than 200 locations. Now, students come here for an education that is relevant to their lives, and to the world around them.

Whether you go to class online or on campus, you’ll find:

• Class times that fit with your work, family and social life.
• Small class sizes for engaging discussion and interaction with your classmates and instructor.
• Faculty who combine their personal knowledge of the field with proven academic theory.
• Up-to-date curriculum that is developed in collaboration with faculty and industry experts.
• Personalized student support from a team of advisors who help you from enrollment to graduation.
• A world-class online library that is available 24/7, so you have access to scholarly research, when you want.

There’s more than one way to earn a degree. Find out what works for you.

Flexibility.

I don’t have free time. I work. I have kids. I run a household. But I want my degree.

University of Phoenix exists because there are thousands of people like you who want an education, but can’t afford to put life on hold for four, or more, years. Many of our students are working adults who have families and demanding schedules.

Everyone at University of Phoenix, your classmates, instructors and advisors, understands the sacrifices you’re making to get your degree. Our learning model reflects this. We help you fit school into your life. That means you can take classes online, on campus or both.

It’s still a lot of work, and we definitely won’t say it’s easy. But getting your degree is possible – if you’re willing to work hard and be a little creative with your time.

We believe that every adult deserves the opportunity to earn a college degree. University of Phoenix was established to provide options for a high-quality, higher education.

We offer classes on campus and online, so you can pursue your educational goals and still work and keep up with all of your other commitments. While widely available, not all learning formats are offered at all locations.

Campus-based learning.

Go to class near your home or work.

• Attend class once a week at night or on the weekend. At some campuses, you can choose day classes, too.
• Meet with your learning team at least once a week.
• Complete assignments on your own, as well as with your learning team.

Online learning.

Go to class online from anywhere you want.

• Online learning lets you “participate” in class through online forums.
• You access reading materials, lectures, questions and assignments from your instructor online, so you can study when, and where, you want.
• Build teamwork skills by collaborating online on assignments with your learning team.

Earn your degree one course at a time.

My life doesn’t operate on the semester schedule.

University of Phoenix offers higher education that’s designed for working students , and our year-round schedule reflects this. Instead of the traditional college course load, you take one course at a time. And, you can begin your degree program almost any month of the year. It’s hard enough to squeeze a degree program into your already-packed schedule, but we make it possible.
