Does anybody know if those online universities like University of Phoenix are legitimate?
Question:
Answer:
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
As a former student, I know it is terrible. Intel for one will not hire UOP graduates, they dont consider it a quality Univ.
Look at the following places
www.uopsucks.com
www.RipOffReport.com (search UOP)
Then simply search yahoo or google for "UOP sucks"
I lost about 6K dollars going there for roughly 4 classes. I finally had my can full when my last teacher simply took off for 2 weeks. (the class was 5 weeks total.)
Its a terrible place, and a waste of your money. Look for other places online, and then yahoo or google search the name of the university followed by "sucks." From here you can see the good and bad.
Too many websites devoted to why UOP sucks should be a hint.
I wouldnt even take a free class there, its a total scam.
Walden University is online, its legit and accredited, and also cheaper then UOP.
Before you take any courses at University of Phoenix or send any money to them or any online "for profit" school, you should read the article about U of P in the NY Times for Sunday Feb 11, 2007.

The 'University' of Phoenix , like most on-line 'universities', offers certificates/degrees ... but if you talk to any HR person in any company...they will tell you that if they see "University of Phoenix" on a job application/resume ... it automatically goes to the bottom of the pile...never to be seen again. On-line degrees/diplomas aren't worth much...if anything.and have no standing whatsoever in the academic community.
