College..?


Question:
I just got my AA from University of Phoenix online. I have recently been hearing that it is not a very respectable school. I now have to chose if I want to continue taking classes there, or somewhere. I am currently living out of the country so I have to take online classes. I am not sure if it would be better to stick with only online schools, or find a school that is mainly a "campus school" but offers online classes.

Another factor with University of Phoenix tuition dramatically increased from $250/ credit hour to $490/ credit hour when taking classes for a BS degree. I am getting tuition assistance that will pay up to $250/ credit hour, I dont really want to pay any extra on my own.

Just looking for some advice..

thank you!

Answer:
Unfortunately your AA is about as good as your High School diploma, UofP is a big waste of time, I would immediately look into a campus school, you might lose some of your credits because a regular university will not recognize a lot of their credits and some classes will have to be retaken. You would have been better of getting your AA from a community college for a 1/4 of the price. This is a problem that people don't realize, UoP is for career people only and your work pays for it, you should not pay for UoP on your own.
Find a "campus school."
I was in doubt what online program to chose until I found this site:

their consultants contacted me promptly and have helped me to choose the online degree program that best fitted me.
