Can you take your basic classes for college online at Univ of Phoenix?
Question:
Answer:
You can, but there are many cheaper alternatives. The University of Phoenix is a "for profit" university. Some of the "required" courses at UoP don't transfer and in some cases, they split what would be ONE class into two. Why? Well, that's more money! Although it is convenient, many local colleges now offer classes via the Internet or even televised courses.
Consider taking your basics at a local junior college. It's much cheaper and actually a great way to ease into the college scene. If there is a college you want to graduate from, find out exactly how many hours you must have at THAT school to get a degree from there. Once you've finished your basics, transfer to the school of your dreams and get THEIR degree. Good Luck !
I have heard bad things about the University of Phoenix on line. For Instance:
Many of the core curriculum is not transferable to most colleges.
The degrees received have no real credibility in certain States.
I am not sure. But most community colleges will let you take the core curriculum on line. Though it usually requires going into testing centers every 1-3 weeks.
Make sure that the university you want to transfer to eventuly will take credits from the University of Phoenix.
I hear that not all universities will take online transfer credits
If you have a college of your dreams, your authority on the subject is to contact that college and get their facts. I do not mean to criticize your question, this a a good start, getting others ideas. Good luck.
