UOP's MSN/MHA program is right on target with the needs of adult learners!I have just graduated wiht my MSN/MHA. As a nurse educator for a large academic medical center - this program gave me what my own organization (with free tuition benefit) could not - a great education that was efficient and designed for working adults. Highly reccomend this program to anyone who is self motivated and able to handle technology.

I attended the University of Phoenix (online). I received a Masters of Information Systems Management in February on 2007. Classes were conducted on a six week schedule which allowed a person to take a single class during short work cycle breaks. The time involved made the classes easier versus dragging them out over a long period.
I really enjoyed the learning experience; most of the classes were difficult but manageable. The coursework was very similar to traditional universities, with a twist you were organized into learning teams. You are graded in multiple categories; attendance, coursework, peer evaluation, and daily posts.
The courses varied as to how many days of attendance are required per week; normally it was four days per week (which started on Tuesday). The daily post requirement would either be based upon a given number of posts or a word count requirement for a minimum number of days. Peer evaluation really didn’t affect your grade, unless you didn’t help out on the learning team coursework requirements. This evaluated how you interacted with others and how much you contributed to a team paper/project while still working on your own project.
The final requirement was the coursework; it normally consisted of a major project due every other week, and how much thought was put into your daily posts and whether or not you helped your teammates understand the concepts of the course.
Overall I really enjoyed the classes; the one thing that I would change would be to standardize the different class structures. Different instructors had different requirements as far as daily post requirements, attendance and even coursework evaluation. The standardization of this would make things easier in the long run.
Great School...for the most part.

So far I have enjoyed attending UoP. The classes are not just simple blow through classes, they require thought and thorough response. The only thing that does disappoint me is the fact that 1. They don't tell you if you need a book until the first day of class. 2. The quality of instructors is inconsistent. One set of classes you may have a very thorough instructor, the next an over-zealous one, and the next, one that is so lax that you don't even know if they read what you turn in they just grade as 100%. With every school and every education the student must be determined to learn. If the student wants to learn, they will; no matter if the instructor is insufficient or the class is not up to par.
