Questions & Answers
Is axia college the same as university of phoenix?
I am pretty sure I did everything for signing up for school through phoenix university. However now I am enrolled in Axia college of university of phoenix. I just assumed it was just a division of the school because it was so large. Then while browsing online, I came across some chats making me think that I am getting a degree from Axia and not UOP. What the heck. If I wanted to go to a college not a university I wouldn't be paying the outrageous prices. Let me know ANYTHING please
"And many states don't recognize UOP degrees due to accreditation issues." Posters please indicate which states don't accept regional accreditation as sufficient in their state. I believe you will find that this is simply not true.
UoP is regionally accredited just like the state U in every state - this is not the issue. The issue is that the reputation of UoP is not so hot (regionally accredited or not). UoP has earned a poor reputation in the world of academia whether or not it is deserved. That reputation can cause you problems later.
Axia is the community college division of University of Phoenix. Some people believe this was a way to separate the business from the bad reputation of UoP.
"If I wanted to go to a college not a university ..." Understand that there is no difference in real practice between a college and a university in the US. There are many fine universities that call themselves a college and there are many fine colleges that call themselves a university. In 2007, the two words have come to mean the same.
"I wouldn't be paying the outrageous prices. ..." One has to wonder why you've decided to pay these prices for a degree that you can earn elsewhere for less and have with a better reputation. A bachelor's degree from UoP will cost you about the same as one from Harvard University and about 3-5 times what one would cost at your local state university.
If you've decided that UoP is the best option for your needs then by all means follow that path. Be certain you've explored other options for a degree online though -- UMass, UFlorida, Florida State, CalState, Oklahoma, UTexas, and 100s of others offer their degrees online for less than what UoP will cost you and a much better reputation (if not education).
The low down on University of Phoenix Axia College?
I am getting so much bad rap about UOP Axia College online I don't know what to believe. I have applied for enrollment but have not been notified as of yet whether I have been accepted or not. I ran across many people complaining of ripoffs and professors not answering their questions etc etc. Anyone have a positive experience? I want to get my degree but I work 2 jobs and UOP Axia College seems to be a good fit and is affordable-yes I have to get loans to pay for it but paying back once I complete my degree should be quick and easy. Since I have not been notified yet I have time to separate fact from fiction so that if I am accepted and want to pull out I have 3 days to do so without penalty but I have done research for several months and have found what I thought were good things with online education but now that I have taken a step to being accepted I am finding sites of people claiming ripoffs and I don't know what to believe anymore. Any info is appreciated!!
I am currently a student at Axia pursuing a degree in IT and I can't say anything bad about them. My experience has been a good one so far and I'm about at the half-way point.
One note though is that I don't hear from my academic counselor that much but that's about it. If you have any other questions just let me know and I will try to answer them for you.
Axia College of the University of Phoenix, whats the difference?
What's the difference between the Axia College and the University of Phoenix? I know they are connected and accredited, but I notice they have 3 catergories for credits, one is Axia the other is Undergraduate and last Graduate? Well someone please explain?
Axia College is the University of Phoenix's equivilant of a community college. They were talking about bringing this portion of the college out some time ago, and my guess it that it has been out now for a few months.
The purpuse of Axia is to provide a flexible, on-line way of easing people back into the educational process and providing non-traditional learners with the opportunity to go back to college. The degrees are fully accredited associate degrees and will prepare people for more specialized jobs or allow them to go on to a four year college. Then UoP picks them up for the last two years of there undergrad program or their graduate program, if they so choose.
Why did the break off Axia from the main Phoenix program? In was, in part, because of some of the bad press they got from 1) some of their past business practices , 2) from a WHOLE lot of people who tried to go to college on line, weren't ready for it, and then had to drop out for one reason or another. Then, rather than be reflective and try and figure out why they failed, these people blame the university for their failures and start posting whiny posts on www.uopsucks.com or www.rate-it-all.com. Go there, read the whiny posts if you want, but please put it in perspective.
After receiving a traditional 'brick and mortar (BM)' Bachelor's degree and two more BM Master's from traditional universities, I enrolled in UoP's MSCIS program in 2003. I finished in 2005, and I would judge the quality of the program on par with the Master's degrees that I got in more traditional 'brick and mortar' programs. In fact, the quality of professors at UoP was WAY higher than a lot of the crappy professors I was forced to sit through during my BM undergraduate days.
Oh, BTW, less that six months after I graduated I accepted a job which gave me a $30,000 per year increase over what I had been doing. I was told after I was hired that I would NOT have been hired if I did not have the Master's degree from UoP.
