Good Program!
By Previous MBA student - Michigan on

I also attended UOP for three classes toward my MBA. I found the classes to be extremely informative and the instructors to be knowledgeable in their prospective fields. I didn't run into the grammar/spelling issues that were mentioned previously, but maybe that's because these are higher-level classes. I didn't finish through them, but that's only because I decided if I was going to spend money and time on a higher-level degree, I want it in something I love, which they can't offer me. I wouldn't think twice about going back there to finish the MBA, though, if that's the degree I wanted. I'd re-enroll for that in a heartbeat! I really thought it was a great program.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology in May of 07. The course work was demanding in conjunction with the fastidious and capricious nature identified with military life, I found the program a bit challenging. I have to agree with one poster when he or she elaborated on the quality of students. These are so-called professionals who hold prominent positions but yet appear to function at a 10th or 11th grade level. I have come across a lot of students who could not spell and who used poor grammar. I spent many of time correcting errors on other students than my own individual projects. I am not perfect by any means. However, UoP should conduct placement tests for reading and writing comprehension. After all, when it comes down to it, you have to count on these people to make the grade.
UOP Online

What a great experience! I looked into many different online schools before deciding on UOP. I spent 3 months with Kaplan University before coming over, and what a difference! I love the way that the classes are organized, and the teachers are amazing. I can't say that it was EASY, but that isn't the point. College and a quality degree is not something that is supposed to be easy. I enjoyed the challenge, and I will be submitting my application to get involved with their doctoral program next spring.

First, this school's online program does not use professors, they use facilitators. That was not exactly the best way to present the courses. It is more like self-taught and teach one another (fellow class mates) than it is a professor taught style.
Secondly, the quality of students that attended with me was not very desirable. I had students that could not spell in my classes, could not use proper grammar, and I could not believe at times that these students even graduated from high schools! Why is that important? Because you have to work with them in UoP Learning Teams, which accounts for a percentage of your individual class grade.
