About the University of Phoenix

The University of Phoenix is a leader in providing an array of courses and programs to new, returning and continuing students. Courses at the university are available at onsite campus locations with scheduled classes conducted by professional teaching staff. For students with scheduling issues or for those who want the convenience of studying at home, distance-learning classes are available with online instruction by experienced faculty.

The University of Phoenix has provided a variety of degree programs and continuing education courses since 1976. The university is a fully accredited school, and provides students with a staff of experienced teachers dedicated to helping and supporting students reach their full potential and goals in a well-rounded education that leads to professional achievements and fulfilling careers.

Both the on-campus and online curriculum programs offer schedules that are easily tailored to meet individual needs. Class sizes remain small to ensure that each student has an opportunity to interact, ask questions and receive quality information from his or her teacher. Students have the option of taking individual courses, continuing education courses or work toward a degree. The university offers associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees.

The university strives to enrich each student’s experience, whether as a new freshman just starting or a seasoned senior, by providing experienced advisors. The role of the university's advisors is to support each student with the enrollment process, scheduling, providing information on academic standards and requirements and finances from the first day of school until graduation day. The University of Phoenix offers a financial aid program to qualified students in an effort to promote higher learning and education.
